Hello everybody I am currently building my first physical FreeBSD box which should soon replace my Synology NAS. I have put together all the pieces and was able to install FreeBSD just fine, but I have had some issues ever since I created the main storage pool where all the files are supposed...

We have several SuperMicro machines and they're all running fine. Except two machines, they appear to run FreeBSD 9.3-RELEASE just fine but we get a lot of MCA errors in the logs. Most likely memory errors and would need to be replaced. One machine is a couple of years old, so its not entirely...
