I've been reporting this for a while. I have all new hardware and running 2
IDE local drives, nothing's faulty. Everything is working fine now that I have
downgraded to 5.2.1. I have no kernel dump either since it's a problem with
software disk write buffer. But, at least, you get a message of what could be
the problem, I only got dead freezes. For me, it wasn't heavy loads that was
crashing it, but only buffers getting full.
At the moment, all I can say to help is, if you use dummynet or altq, be sure
to have HZ=1000 in your kernel. But that won't help you much because your
server was working fine.
Good luck,
