:FYI:  On hub.freebsd.org (the freebsd mailing list server), if we activate
:softupdates on the disk containing the postfix spool, the machine reboots
:(silently if I recall correctly) within 5 minutes of postfix starting up.
:
:This is a much smaller system of course, with smaller memory and filesystem
:working set.  (postfix spool of ~50-80MB, 256MB ram).  I thought I'd post
:this as a real-use datapoint.
:Cheers,
:-Peter

    I'm running the postmark test on my 3.x and 4.x test boxes now using
    a large softupdates partition (33G on each) and large memory (512M and 1G)
    configuration.

    The 4.x box seems to have stabilized at around 14MB of KVM, the 3.x box
    seems to have stabilized at around 9MB of KVM.  I'll leave it running
    for a while to see if there are any memory leaks and then try reducing 
    debug.max_softdeps to see what happens.

    We are still looking for panic messages.
