I found what is the cause of problem with lnc0. it's commited vm_contig.c from Thu Aug 5 14:54:12 PDT 2004 ( http://lists.freebsd.org/pipermail/cvs-src/2004-August/028854.html ) I set in /boot/loader.conf vm.old_contigmalloc="1" and all stuff works fine. ===== Vitaly Markitantov +38050-3530077 __________________________________ Do you Yahoo!?
