I've run into some error messages on my server that are beyond my skill level of interpreting, so I'm hoping some of you can help me out. I've already posted this on the forums at http://forums.freebsd.org/showthread.php?p=165258#post165258 but since this is affecting our business, I'm trying to reach out to a broader audience and hopefully get this thing resolved.
We have an Intel modular blade server. The chassis has 2x 3-disk RAID(5) arrays. Volume 1 is what the OS (FreeBSD 7.2) is installed on and Volume 2 is mounted at /usr. These two volumes are da0 and da1. I got email notifications saying the web host I run in a jail hosted on this server was down. I try to SSH into it, but it fails. I ping it and I get a 50% return rate. So I log in to the management blade and start a virtual KVM sessions to get into the blade. Once I'm into the basehost blade, I cat dmesg.today and get a slew of errors. Here we go..

How do I figure out what da3 is and what do the above error messages say about it? Someone on the forum asked me if the two volumes are on the same controller and the answer is yes, they are.

GEOM_LABEL: Label ufsid/4bd2077f23a6cc93 removed. Was root unmounted? Whats going on here? Obviously there's some issue with da0, which is mounted at /. The server has been up and running fine, so why am I seeing "Trying to mount root from ufs:/dev/da0s1a"? pid 93248 (httpd), uid 80: exited on signal 10 pid 95624 (httpd), uid 80: exited on signal 10 pid 97956 (httpd), uid 80: exited on signal 10 pid 97935 (httpd), uid 80: exited on signal 10 pid 96603 (httpd), uid 80: exited on signal 10 pid 93210 (httpd), uid 80: exited on signal 10 pid 98246 (httpd), uid 80: exited on signal 10 This is apparently whats killing our webserver. Apache receives a signal 10 and quits.. Everything I've read says it's an issue with Apache trying to access RAM that it shouldn't or that doesn't exist.. Is there something else with the above da0 or da3 errors that would cause a SIGBUS on httpd? Then after that it goes back and repeats that first block of da3 errors a bunch more times. The server was down for about 10 minutes and then it just fixed itself. It's weird because it seems the apache child processes all get killed off by the sigbus but the parent process doesn't.. so once the problem works itself out, it continues operations as normal without me having to restart the daemon or anything. The management blade in the server chassis is reporting that all the hardware is fine. We have a second blade that boots off of a second partition in Volume 1 and it doesn't have any problems at all.
