I have gotten a couple of crashes recently, but it refused to dump core (I
later figured out that crash dumps were set to go to /dev/sd0s4b, except
FreeBSD is on /dev/sd0s1... and I missed the dumpon complaint)
two of the crashes I saw were related to soft-updates (perhaps not caused by
them, but definately related). The other one seemed to be related to the
filesystem code, but not specifically softupdates.
I have noticed when I compile many things as myself (not root), like 3 kernels
(one for each of my machines), there are compiler sig-11's in one random
session:
make -j8 world (as root) as well as these kernels made under myself:
3 make -j4 -> one session ends with sig-11 or other strange
(not signal based) compiler error.
2 make -j4, 1 make -j2 -> everything seems to work fine.
the 'make -j8 world' always works (unless it was one of the filesystem-related
crashes), one of the kernel compiles gets smacked.
swap usage hovers about 10-12% (~40-45 out of 384Meg), 64 Meg ram. There is
some heavy paging at times (2-3 meg per interval in top).
If the limits in /etc/login.conf are 'per user' rather than 'per session',
I can see how one of the kernel compiles could be smacked. It is not spelled
out very well which policy is in effect (the implication seems to be 'per
user').
