You may also wish to try to get the problem to occur sooner after boot on a non-patched system by doing a "tar cf /dev/null /" (note: substitute /dev/zero instead of /dev/null, if you use GNU tar, to disable its "optimization"). You can stop it after it has gone through a 100K files. Verify by looking at "sysctl vfs.numvnodes". Doing this would help to further prove that lots of allocated vnodes is the prerequisite for the problem. -DG David G.
