Thinking about this some more... My home desktop also is a dual opteron
with memory on both nodes and SCSI, but it hasn't had any reboots. The
machine with the reboot trouble uses RAID5+LVM, unlike my desktop. Also
it's an NFS server, but I have another machine (single-cpu pentium 4, no
SCSI etc.) that's an NFS server without reboots. But none of the other
machines have RAID or LVM.

It's maddening because half of the evidence points to hardware trouble
with this one machine, but the other half contradicts this. It's
interesting to hear that other people are experiencing this, though.
