Ron,
Is this the HP Vectra server that has the onboard Adaptec
SCSI controller, and are you running SCSI drives on it?
If so, there's another guy that has one of these servers
and was complaining about bugs in the adaptec driver sometime
last year causing a similar issue. I told him to send-pr it
but I don't think anything came of that.
I would say you have a 80% chance it's what they call:
"non-compliant hardware" It is well known that HP has a microcode
license from Adaptec, they and Compaq have modified Adaptec's microcode
before. It is really annoying when they do it and put their modded
microcode into Adaptec's cards - I have had before on my desk,
2 identical Adaptec SCSI cards, that when both placed in a Compaq
desktop will boot up with identical firmware version numbers with
one exception - one of them has a trailing "S" on the firmware version
number - and both work exactly the same in the Compaq, yet take
the Adaptec card that was purchased from retail and put it in
another system and it works fine, but take the adaptec card
that was purchased from Compaq/HP spares and it will not work in
any other system.
It's enough to piss off an idiot.
Ted

Subject: Help to find cause of recurring crash
Hello All,
I'm running a home email server and twice in the last week it has
rebooted itself and been unable to restart due to corruption of the
filesystem. I found the following in /var/log/messages

When I turn on the monitor I see that the reboot has not been
successful
due to "/ was not properly dismounted" and it is asking for fsck to be
run manually. When I do that everything is fine again.
Can anybody help me find the cause of the crash? What extra information
is needed and how do I find that information? I'm relatively
new to FreeBSD.
Thanks in advance,
Ron

however I have "sendmail_enable="NONE"" in /etc/rc.conf so sendmail
shouldn't be working.

Hi Ted,
Not sure about the Adaptec SCSI controller being onboard, but I'm not
using SCSI disks.
Thanks
Ron
