(was Re: cvs commit: src/sys/i386/conf GENERIC ) In-Reply-To: <19891.980762073@critter> Message-ID: MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: TEXT/PLAIN; charset=US-ASCII Sender: owner-cvs-all@FreeBSD.ORG Precedence: bulk X-Loop: FreeBSD.ORG Sorry! I've had maybe 10 hours sleep in the last 72 hours.... big release time for me at Veritas.....my head is spinning with F-port && NL-port topologies with things coming and going --"In the room, women come and go, talking of Michaelangelo...".... but I digresss... Let's try again- there's a panic in a filesystem created by mdconfig on top of an md device. Since I wuz being sold (perhaps not by you) mdconfig(8) on top of md as the replacement for the now brooooookkeeeen MFS. So. mdconfig(8) is likely *not* broken. The problem very clearly is in the swap backed created md. This the solution is not good for me. Seems to be a slightly rhetorical distinction, but, okay, well, fine. You knew what I meant, you near-scoundrel, you! :-) Okay!??! Fine. I'm done.
