Hello, i am facing some sort of strange network issue in a freebsd server occasionally.
OS: FreeBSD 8.0-RELEASE - amd64 The servers loses network connection once in a few days. I logged into console and verified that network is up. I even restarted network service using following command. /etc/rc.d/netif restart Still, it didn't fix. I checked /var/log/messages, but I am not getting any clue. ============== Jan 19 12:10:20 myserver kernel: GEOM_MIRROR: Device gm0: rebuilding provider ad0 finished.

It was pinging gateway even. But, traceroute was not going beyond gateway. I believe the issue is not related to anything outside server since a reboot always fixes the issue. I will be grateful for any advise that can help me in troubleshooting this problem. -- Best Regards, Sherin _______________________________________________ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "freebsd-questions-unsubscr...@freebsd.org"
