 Hello,
 
 Our file server is a compaq proliant 320DL 1U w/ 512MB ram, 18GB 320 scsi, 
 73GB 320
 scsi, P3 1 Ghz, running FreeBSD 4.9, samba 3.0.5.
 
 HAd it for about 16 months, been running great. About 3 months ago it 
 rebooted with
 nothing in the logs or any track of a problem. I chalked it up to isolated 
 glick.
 THen another reboot a month later. Now its every 9 hours give or take some 
 minutes
 and seconds. Again, nothing in the logs.
 
 First, I added more ram(crucial)(only had 256MB initially), no help. then I 
 ran
 memtest and running it with 128MB it uses mlock and runs and says no problems.
 Whenever I try to run memtest with more than 128, it won't mlock it(says 
 can't) and
 says it will be slower and less relieable but it finishes not-the-less and 
 its ok.
 
 I've run fsck -fy /dev/(mount) on all the mounts. It fines and fixes stuff on 
 some
 reboots but it doesn't always fine errors(its a file server so I figure 
 there'll be
 some since files were open when it rebooted).
 
 I frustrated and don't know what to do.

Check power supply, CPU cooling, try putting it behind a UPS in case
your AC power is dropping out (e.g. due to increased load from
something kicking in every 9 hours, etc).

I will check PS and cooling. It's on a good apc ups so that's not it. Also, 
forget 9
hrs, it just rebooted 2 with in 10 minutes.

Well, something is dying...  You are doing regular backups, aren't you?

Seems everytime I've been through this type of thing in the past,
regardless of OS, I've ended up replacing the motherboard.
