Stack overflow with kernel r254683

Hello,

yesterday I got a kernel crash on my server (a ProLiant DL380 G5):

"panic: stack overflow detected; backtrace may be corrupted"

Kernel is "9.2-PRERELEASE FreeBSD 9.2-PRERELEASE #7 r254683"


The stack trace reads:

#0  doadump (textdump=1) at pcpu.h:249
249 pcpu.h: No such file or directory.

I have all the files in /var/crash, so if someone wants additional informations
I should be able to deliver them.

The kernel config file is customized in the sense that I have removed kernel items, that aren't used on that machine.

One major difference: I use

< options       NFSCLIENT               # Network Filesystem Client
< options       NFSSERVER               # Network Filesystem Server

instead of

> options       NFSCL                   # New Network Filesystem Client
> options       NFSD                    # New Network Filesystem Server

because a kernel a few weeks ago immediately crashed with the new NFS-code.

But it seems now, that the old NFS-code is also somehow damaged.

Ah, and I still have from older releases of FreeBSD the following
loader options - do they still make sense?

geom_vinum_load="YES"
kern.maxdsiz="734003200"
vm.pmap.shpgperproc=256
vm.pmap.pv_entry_max=3145728


'geom_vinum' is used as LVM only, no RAIDs are configured.

This server is primarily a Samba server with the SMB-shares exported as NFS-shares as well
for the other *nix-servers around.

Because this is the most loaded production server, testing is a bit difficult, restricted to the evening and the weekends.

On my two other FreeBSD machines I have no problems at all, one of them is an identical ProLiant server with a nearly identical kernel config - runs like a charm...

Has someone a good advice or further questions?


 
with best regards
