On multiple occasions and under different circumstances my FreeBSD 4.4 i386machine has just suddenly died leaving my filesystem in an inconsisent state. I have included my dmesg for those interested. The first instance, which I was able to recreate twice (I was not interested in going for a third,) was when downloading a large file (~600 MB) through ftp using Mozilla 0.9.6. This Mozilla was simply the binary for FreeBSD available at the Mozilla site and not self-compiled. As soon as the download is complete the entire system will just die then leaving my filesystem inconsistent. The Mozilla binary was run by a standard non-root user. This does not occur when downloading files of a relatively smaller size. The second instance was when trying to watch a DVD using Ogle-0.8.1 which I installed using the available FreeBSD package. After a time of trying to do something, I believe it was decoding using the dvd-css library, the entire system just suddenly died. The Ogle binary was run by root when this occured. I do not understand how the operating system can allow any user program to cause such an event and am at a loss for the cause. If anyone requires further details then please feel free to give me an email. With your help, we can end SFDS in our time.
