According to Bruce Evans: > The real problem is in the kernel. Applications should not be able to > cause a panic. I agree. > The problem in watch was actually that it tried to enable snoop mode > on the directory /dev/. st_rdev is invalid for non-devices on ufs I already answered Mike on that very subject: I don't gave the knowledge to fix the problem within the kernel (I saw you just did it, thanks) so I "fixed" the problem in watch. Trying to snoop on "/dev/" was not possible any more. -- Ollivier ROBERT -=- FreeBSD: There are no limits -=- roberto@keltia.freenix.fr FreeBSD keltia.freenix.fr 3.0-CURRENT #39: Sun Feb 2 22:12:44 CET 1997
