Hi folks!
I'm experiencing crashes of some FreeBSD ESXi guests, while, interestingly not of all of them. The differences of those crashing are:
- Bigger virtual disks.
- Tending more network and disk I/O.
OS version is 10.1, but same problems also exists on 9.3 guests.
This is the kernel backtrace:
kernel: Fatal trap 12: page fault while in kernel mode

The vmmemctl_poll function is not part of FreeBSD, but the open-vm-tools: open-vm-tools/os.c at master · vmware/open-vm-tools · GitHub
Any hints?
