Fatal trap 12: page fault while in kernel mode

[Ulrar]

Hi,

I have FreeBSD 9.1 on a server since December, and it had crashed two times already so I enabled the crash dumps. Everything worked fine for months, and since yesterday it crashed 4 times already. Don't know why, might be the ftpfs I have mounted, it keeps "blinking" these days. When I try to list it, sometimes it's empty, sometimes it works fine, and it's not a server problem, others can use it just fine when I see it empty.

Should I attach the coredump too?

In the past, FUSE was not stable at all on FreeBSD. There was some work on it recently, don't know the current status. But I would recommend not using FUSE on anything that needs to be reliable.

I use it for the ftpfs I mount. I tried lots of things, but nothing is really usable over internet. Every time I try NFSv4 the client end up completely frozen and I have to pull the plug to reboot it. Would there be a good network file system usable over internet that wouldn't freeze the client if the server crashes, not depending on FUSE?

And to get back on the subject, the problem seems to be triggered by the log mail thing. I haven't received my log mails for two days, and the last two reboots have been at 3 AM, time at which I usually receive the log emails. I will try to disable that tonight, see if that's really it.
