So it's possible > it's not restricted to soft updates. I have reported a panic in the fs code that takes on different aspects depending on whether or not the rellocation code is active. It triggers both with and without softupdates. The pr for this bugreport is kern/16740. No response to it yet, discounting the persons bitten by this bug who mails me to ask if there is a fix for the problem. There is someone who claims to have a test the reliably can reproduce the bug on a "range of hardware" (his words). If there is an interest in the test (i don't have it) i will forward the emailaddress to the person having it privately. -- regards/ Joakim To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-stable" in the body of the message
