        During this function :

        @stevemosher said in Random panic reboot:

        bpf_buffer_append_mbuf() at bpf_buffer_append_mbuf+0x64/frame 0xfffffe1051c9a420

        a panic is thrown.

        So, "mbuf" - whatever that is - are missing, to small, not enough, etc etc etc

        No "help me" PM's please. Use the forum, the community will thank you.
        Edit : and where are the logs ??

          @stevemosher said in Random panic reboot:

          We did change Firewall Maximum Fragment Entries from 5000 to 12000 and it still rebooted on us.

          We identified that item and tried to fix it by setting max frag to 12000.
          We thinking thats not enough? Or is this where the mbuf issue starts?

            That's not the same as the mbuf limits but yours are set to 1M for standard sized packets and 500K for jumbo packets so it's unlikely you'd be exhausting that.
            The netstat output confirms that, 0 denied clusters.

            It does look very similar to the crash on that other thread. Not much more info there though.

            What interface types do you have on that box? Can you switch them out?

              Current card is a broadcom/hp 10G card. OCE0/OCE1

              Trying to see if we can grab an intel x550t2 card and see if that changes anything.

              I do agree it seems to be more bsd related.

                We went ahead and picked up an Intel X550T2 card. Should be here next week.

                Stay tuned.

                Above all -- Thank you.

                  Ah, nice. Yeah looking at that the 'oce_multiq` call very close to the panic seems suspicious and is also in the panic on the other thread.

                    Follow up.

                    The interfaces keep flapping or at least stating they are up or down repeatedly on console.

                    The damn thing has ran for 8 days solid now no reboots.
                    The Intel card still has yet to show up.

                      Hmm, seems suspicious though. Maybe that older card is actually suspect if it keeps losing link. Or something else in the connection.

                        We did swap out the card a couple weeks ago thinking that was it.

                        We even tried a whole other pc for the foundation.

                        Only common thing is the OS and 1 certain make/model HP card.

                        Come on Intel card.

                          The Intel X550T2 is installed. We'll beat on it and see how it goes.

                            Pretty convinced our issues are gone with the new card.

                            Hell we even get better speeds in and out.

                            Thank you to all on this board who help us out.
