Hi Hiren and many thanks for the reply.

No errors in logs as the system suddenly dumps and reboots uncleanly. Howe=
ver I=92ll look to enable crash dumps on these particular systems.

I=92ll look into enabling that. I don=92t think any one in tech has the lu=
xury of saying =93I don=92t know=94 and instead must say =93I=92ll look int=
o that=94 :)
I was first made aware of this issue using FreeNAS and figured to test the =
upstream providers warez so to speak. The problem persists as I expected a=
nd do have there crash dumps, just not FreeBSDs crash dumps.
Something about tripping an assert. I don=92t think FreeNAS can do much ab=
out it as the problem lies in the FreeBSD Solarflare driver. Kind of kicki=
ng myself with going bleeding edge on the NIC but the Solarflare sounded so=
o good on paper.
I would say that if the drivers in FreeBSD were as mature as Intel, then So=
larflare for the win for sure. But its all about the drivers.
