Intel 440BX chipset. >Description: A while back we were evaluating using ext2 in conjunction with FreeBSD 4.1 for one of our products. However we came across a pretty bad problem, in that the kernel died (no panic messages as I recall). The cause seemed to be when a fifo was created on an ext2 fs. >How-To-Repeat: Haven't looked at it for a while, but AFAIK it should be enough to do a mkfifo on an ext2 partition. We discovered it when we were restoring a backup from tape. >Fix: >Release-Note: >Audit-Trail: >Unformatted: To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-bugs" in the body of the message
