OK I just do it. I just hope the maintainer can understand me...
As a first step: you say your server crashed. Did it panic? Do you
have debugging settings (INVARIANTS, WITNESS) enabled? Do you have
DDB enabled? Read through the chapter on kernel debugging in the
developers' handbook and reconfigure your kernel accordingly, then
proceed from there.
Well it's no so easy. I can try but there least 600 users waiting the big
fsck when the server crash. I'm not sure I can spend many time to try
this.. But I promise you I will try.
Thanks. You need to evaluate whether it's more important for you to
try to get the problem fixed, or to keep dealing with the downtime
from the crashes. Trying to reproduce on a test machine is also a
good idea.
Unfortunately, debugging system problems does take work, but at the
same time if you can't put the work in, it's not so likely you'll be
able to resolve the problem.
NB: Why this kind of problem can happen ? I ask this because until 6. I
never have this kind of problem.
All software has bugs, and sometimes hardware has bugs too.
I can not provide you much either... But I have similar problem. But for
me it crashes within a couple of days.
The system is a HP Proliant DL380 G3. Which mean it runs ciss(4) and
bge(4). Its a generic SMP kernel, but I have tried without SMP enabled
before. The system is running the news software Diablo and are set up as
a feeder. Give or take aprox 100 incoming connections feeding aprox
200Mbp and 20 outgoing feeding aprox 200Mbps.
I have tried to follow the docs about creating a dump into /var/crash. But
there is none to be seen. Perhaps I have missed something, or it is
actually not created. I will go through those again once I am back at
work on tuesday.
It feels like its just freezes and reboots without any warnings at all.
If someone will give me a simple step by step walkthrough, I can make it
in whatever way you want me to.
