Hello, I posted this on -questions yesterday, but I thought this might be the more appropriate list - apologies for the cross-posting. I have been getting occasional reboots on my FreeBSD 6-STABLE machine. I haven't figured out a pattern on it yet, but the most recent crash was during some pretty heavy NFS usage, and I see nfsd in the dump, so perhaps that has something to do with it. Could anyone assist in deciphering the cause of this? This is the first time it's crashed on me once I enabled debugging, so I can't say for sure whether or not this is common to all of them.
