If you're booting diskless you get to mounting/using the md0 disk and you panic because I haven't made ufs_readwrite safe. http://people.freebsd.org/~alfred/vm.diff I'm having fun but a bit concerned, I have a lot of places where locks are "optional", meaning that callers can have a lock or not mostly depending on if the function being called will block or not. Getting into UFS is starting to get somewhat hairy as there seems like there's going to be a lock of lock/unlock or places where the lock is held for a long period. Anyhow, if you want to check it out, comment on what's going on with it, let me know. If you'd like to take a subsystem and work out how to vm safe it let me know. Just let me know, ok? :) -- -Alfred Perlstein - [alfred@freebsd.org] Instead of asking why a piece of software is using "1970s technology," start asking why software is ignoring 30 years of accumulated wisdom.
