Not interested in buying another mainboard to 'fix' the problem. some reason you are using BSD instead of a linux core for this? BSD seems to take a bit longer than forever to solve issues like this, and I'm wondering if it will ever be reliable on that platform, at least in any reasonable time frame.Īny advice appreciated. (Some suggestion from one ticket that it's a 'BSD driver problem' some people seem to have fixed it by crippling various mainboard features which is clearly unacceptable. Sometimes you don't even get the messages, it just resets.įWIW your distant cousin NAS4Free does virtually the same thing and also seems to be BSD based so.
