The "silent death" on the 1742 is/was a buffer cache leak, of which davigd has just recently committed the fix to -stable. IMHO, the 2742 problem is completely unrelated... (Karl, if you have a ncr controller handy, it might be worth trying that and seeing if that works for you.. I seem to recall you mentioning that the box with the 2742 is a new configuration, perhaps it might be worth trying a few an alternatives until the 2742 problem can be found? The ncr controllers should be pretty close in performance to the 2742's from what I've heard. I know it's not the answer to probable software problem, but it might get you out of a jam..) > > Perhaps you should get on the -STABLE branch, stay there, and let us > > work the problems in _one_ tree. > > That's what I'm going to do -- I'm supping the -STABLE branch right now onto > one of our development machines in a place that I can work with it and not > blow away anything else. That's good news...
