Set dumpdev= to your swap partition in /etc/rc.conf or manually use the dumpon(8) command. This will cause more useful information to be reported (if the system is panicing) as well as crash dumps to be saved which can be analized with gdb. -- Bill Moran Potential Technology http://www.potentialtech.com To Unsubscribe: send mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with "unsubscribe freebsd-stable" in the body of the message
Re: Frequent Restarts
I'm running a pretty customized kernel here. As far as I can recall the only thing that changed in my kernel configuration from 4.4 to 4.5 was removing the splash pseudo-device. I've heard on this list that its not needed for remote servers. That could be the cause but I'm unable to make sense of why. It must be something else.

I've got a 4.2-STABLE box on a remote site that did exactly the same. I took out the SMB and I2C stuff from the kernel, and the spontaneous reboots stopped. Have upgraded it to 4.5-STABLE, no reboots so far. > A hunch tells me that it has something to do with the > filesystem changes included with 4.5 and softupdates. Hmmm... I was able to reliably trigger the reboots by doing 'make world' or 'make buildworld' and so forth. The reboots occurred at random though, and once or twice the compile process completed. :-\ -- Juha Take off every sig!

Frequent Restarts
Hi everyone, Ever since upgrading to FreeBSD 4.5-STABLE several servers have been randomly restarting themselves. The only relevent messages left in messages or console logs was: Feb 9 20:25:09 phoenix /kernel: WARNING: / was not properly dismounted I've had a few people tell me they had this problem too. They told me the problem dissapeared after their computers restarted 2 - 4 times randomly. Its certaintly not a hardware issue.. all said servers ran for months and months with FreeBSD 4.4, 4.3, and previous versions without a single issue. A hunch tells me that it has something to do with the filesystem changes included with 4.5 and softupdates. Is there anyway to get more information about this remotely? Has anyone experienced this?
