After much head-scratching, some emails with Sören and Nate and trying out a few old kernels without any success, I decided to replace the PSU powering the discs that were causing the timeout messages mentioned in my original email. That fixed the problem. I suspect that the combination of rather unusual temperatures in Sweden over the last 10 days, and very poor ventilation in the room where the server sits, contributed to the "half-death" of the PSU. I should have known better than to suspect FreeBSD given the symptoms (which I've actually seen once before when I think about it), and I would like to apologize for any time wasted trying to help me. /Daniel ErikssonReceived on Sun Aug 15 2004 - 16:22:11 UTC
