Lets see... whats the common factor there? :-) If the problem follows the disks... A whole group of machines having problems is not unheard of. Sometimes theres bad chip revs. We have a big stack of Opterons at work that hang on heavy network I/O while virtually identical boxes bought earlier in the year work fine with the same software. We're hashing it out with the vendor right now. > I think the chance of three systems having the same hardware problem is > really small, especially because 4.10-STABLE hasn't had a single problem > on those systems in the couple of months they run. > > Maybe 5.2-CURRENT has a specific problem with the hardware in the > systems?

I'm not saying it isn't a but, particularly where -current is concerned, but I don't think you've proved its _not_ hardware. -- Doug White | FreeBSD: The Power to Serve dwhite_at_gumbysoft.com | www.FreeBSD.orgReceived on Thu Aug 12 2004 - 23:54:16 UTC
