Hi Chris,
I've noticed the same on three of my FreeBSD 6 systems, until now I
haven't found any clue on this. FreeBSD 5 stable was no problem,
FreeBSD 6 is quite a mess with no trace at all on what might have
caused the machine to freeze. I agree with you that it could very
well be a user application problem because my kernel config is quite
trivial, my updating routines (cvsup and portupgrade) are trivial and
actually the whole configuration of my box isn't exciting. I've
opened a thread at bsdforums.org and posted an email on this mailing
list as well.

Perhaps, comparing both configurations could identify the bad
application.
Kind Regards,
Paul M.C. Beckers

Hi all,
I have a kind of anoying problem at the moment. A system I run
keeps radomly freezing/locking up. This can be anywhere from 2
hours to a week after the last reboot/lockup. The only fix its to
power cycleit. It isnt kernel panicing, it just locks. Even
accessing via serial doent work. I have changed all the hardware
so the issue is unlikely to be there. The load on the box isnt all
that high and the memory usage looks fine (all rrded). The box is
running quite a lot of services (apache, mysql,exim. spamassasing,
clamav, courier, openvpn, zebra). Usually all these services, apart
from openvpn and zebra, run in a jail. I dont think this is an
issue as the machine still freezes if i run them non jailed.
Deactivating all these services apart from openvpn and zebra
(needed for monitoring), seems to fix the problem from what I can
see so im fairly sure the problem lies in these somewhere. However
can anoyone suggest I way i can easily pinpoint the problem other
that stepping though each app, as this would take an age to perform
and be very tedious.
The system has been rebuilt from src (make world) several times,
and I have dont a portupgrade -a. All the local installations
were done from ports.
I have tried running a debug kernel, but it didnt seem to yeild
much useful info.
Im running 6-stable( last build 4 days ago )
its an SMP kernel on 1 gig intels
with 1.2gig ram
2 x 80 gig ide hd
