Hello,

I'm not sure if this is known issue and whether it should be filed as ticket:

I have two OpenBSD boxes as carp firewalls. Since their installation (4.2) till
today (4.5) they were both freezing seemingly randomly (no response from system,
no errors in logs, nothing). I changed hardware, reinstalled but the freezes are
stil ocurring. My engineer that looked into the issue pointed that
system freezes
were happening in about 35 days from each other and found that packet
counters on one of the interfaces are hitting the integer size about
every 35 days.

My system is:

# uname -a
OpenBSD somehost 4.5 GENERIC#0 i386

the interface in question is:

# netstat  -I em3 -a
Name    Mtu   Network     Address              Ipkts Ierrs    Opkts Oerrs Colls
em3     1500  <Link>      some:mac:address 85204764     0 101279901     0     0
em3     1500  10.10.10.1/ 10.10.10.1        85204764     0 101279901     0     0
em3     1500  fe80::%em3/ fe80::215:17ff:fe 85204764     0 101279901     0     0

My questions are:
- is this known issue (maybe fixed in more recent release)?
- is there a tool to reset these counters from cli?

We're planning to do some testing during service hours and try to repeat
and confirm this problem.

Regards,
Tom
