Somewhere in -STABLE between 4.8-RELEASE and a month or so ago I recreated a filesystem [~50 GB] on a single disk and used these two options [-g (~8 MB) -h ~8, IIRC] and after mounting any writes would cause a panic. Other options were -U -m 1%, IIRC. At the time I didn't try to debug and just dropped those two options and made a new filesystem, then all was well. I think this was about a month or two ago. Sorry for the extreme vagueness, but I thought it better to mention it. -Andrew- -- _______________________________________________________________________ | -Andrew J.
