FreeBSD - FSCK problems
I've been having problems with my FreeBSD server (2x73GB SCSI - SW RAID0). At random times it reboots resulting in me having to contact the datacenter to get the server back up. It appears that when the server crashes it doesn't reboot due to a FSCK error. The datacenter has to reboot the server manually to get the server working.
I asked them if they can provide a fix and they responded with:

Maybe if you can track this problem, then it will solve more than the FSCK.
It only needed to correct 2 nodes and several other things. Sometimes
this cannot be fixed by an automated FSCK, because it may cause more
harm than good. Then it has to be done manual.

Thanks a lot!
