Hi All,

I have a system that is being problematic, I suspect but I cannot say for sure 
it is maybe related to ZFS as I have a fairly large ZFS pool on the machine. 
The system will just lock up, local console does not respond to the keyboard, 
num lock still changes the led on the keyboard, the system still responds to 
pings but you cannot ssh to the unit. The behaviour is random the system can be 
running for 50 days plus with no issues then suddenly it enters this state, the 
error logs do not show anything.

System 8.2-RELEASE FreeBSD 8.2-RELEASE #0
AMD 64

Running on an AMD x2 5600
4gb of DDR2
Gmirror 80gb boot disks
6 x 1.5TB SATA II disks using AHCI


Loader.conf

vfs.zfs.prefetch_disable=0
//vfs.zfs.txg.timeout="5"
vm.kmem_size="1024M"
vm.kmem_size_max="1024M"
vfs.zfs.arc_max="100M"
vfs.zfs.vdev.cache.size="100M"

ZFS filesystem version 4
ZFS storage pool version 15

Is this likely to be a case of just not enough ram? Or is there some other 
trouble shooting I could do to try and nail down what is going on as it tends 
to happen when the ZFS zpool is being accessed heavily.

Regards

Graeme


My money is on, its a over heating problem or power supply problem.
Open the box to get more air circulating over the motherboard. If the problem continues them replace power supply with one that outputs more watts. You have a lot of hardware on the current power supply and under heavy demand it may not be able to fulfill the power demand the hardware requires.
