It is an extremely elusive problem. Are you using SMP or UP? Also, any info about your system config might be useful (so I can see how you are using your system.) It has been difficult for me to reproduce the problems since my latest commits, but they still do happen. Current is not stable enough for production use, and I want to make sure that no-one gets hosed. Karl is helping regression test the system, and if you can somehow make the problems occur, it would be useful for me to hear how. If -current works for you, I am still concerned. I would be misleading you and others if I stated otherwise!!! I really do care about people getting messed up filesystems!!! -- John | Never try to teach a pig to sing, dyson@freebsd.org | it just makes you look stupid, jdyson@nc.com | and it irritates the pig.
