I'm facing a problem with my main server : random reboots :(
I've been running this machine two weeks without problems. But now it reboots itself randomly from time to time.
I've been searching for forum threads but I can't be sure of what's appenning.
The first two weeks, I've been doing only file sharing, TimeMachine backups for 6 Macintosh, Emby server.
After that, I've added Transmission and OwnCloud plugin. I've been testing VirtualBox Jail.
And I've moved my Jail Root to a 6x Crucial SSD in RaidZ2.
I have several hypothesis :
1) The Jail Root on a RaidZ2 SSDs cause the problem. I've seen a thread on the forum regarding problems with SSDs (it was with VirtualBox I think). I've stopped the VirtualBox Jail, but the problem remains.
2) I've got a bunch of Watchdog events in the log :
Those correspond to the last 2 reboots.
After reading the forum thread about Watchdog Reboots, I've disabled watchdog in BIOS and removed the jumper on the motherboard. I've also tried to disable the watchdog daemon in rc.conf, but this didn't survived the reboot. So I've stopped the daemon manually after restart (not very convenient, should find a better solution if this is the main cause).
3) Hardware problem. How to determine that ?
I'll appreciate your help.
