Not that I know. I did know exactly when this happens years ago. The backtrace as such will not help you as the panic happens much later than the cause. IIRC the basic problem was that the realignment code only fixes a single missalignment, while theres a chance for more then one. Verify nfs_realign in nfsserver and nfsclient to get an idea. If you are interested - I've found a (non-working) patch that I wrote for it, but the intention of it should be clear. -- B.Walter BWCT http://www.bwct.de bernd@bwct.de info@bwct.de
