Openindiana Crash help

[barbz]

Hi all,

I have a new storage server in the making.

Its currently a Intel S1200bts with a e3 1230 xeon, 8gb ecc ram (memtested), and two 320gb OS drives mirrored running openindiana 151a with Nappit, Nappit-afp and transmission-daemon installed (from SFE).

I have had this crash a few times over the last couple of weeks but I am unable to find out why its happening.

It lasted for 6 days (not always the same amount of time), when it happens the console is frozen and the network drops.

Last entries in the logs are

Dec 14 00:05:39 Indiana mDNSResponder: [ID 702911 daemon.error] ERROR: getOptRdata - unknown opt 4
Dec 14 00:12:15 Indiana last message repeated 60 times

Dec 14 00:26:57 Indiana last message repeated 16 times

where do I start looking to track this down?

Cheers
Paul

a frozen console is mostly due to a sudden hardware failure mostly
a failed disk or disk controller or RAM problems

if its a disk problem and if there is no log entry,
look at the disks if you have a always on led

or hot-unplug all disks to see if its working
otherwise remove half of memory, run it, try the other half
(memtest is not always finding all problems)
