[ I am messing around with a 3 processor P6/233 system to potentially do some heavy-duty database work, and it hasn't been able to complete a make buildworld yet. Crashes with a wide variety of errors. Pop in the NT drive, works fine. FreeBSD crash. Just about to shoot the damn thing, and...] a tickle of somebody saying something (DG I think) about mixing RAM types. So I pop the cover off this bad boy and lo and behold, 2 64MB parity's from one vendor, 2 more 64MB parity's froma different vendor. Replaced them so all 4 were the same vendor, and it is solid as the proverbial rock. 2 buildworlds later, -j8, a few million db inserts, and no problems. I *love* this OS. I'm running -current as of today. If the last of the NFS problems get ironed out so my netapp is happy, I can probably retire.
