Karl, are you using LKM's? I changed the size of the socket structure recently.

We have a prelim patch in which APPEARS to be working (despite an analysis that it shouldn't); no crashes in 30 hours attributable to it (there was one, but this wasn't the cause). I understand a REAL fix has been committed and should be in tonight's SUPper. 2) We have another extant problem with NFS in -current. This one is REALLY odd. What happens is that directories become inaccessible and "pwd" fails (ie: ftpd cannot determine the current directory). The problem comes and goes without reboot or other prodding that we are able to determine. The second problem we have no good, hard evidence of a fix for. -- -- Karl Denninger (karl@MCS.Net)| MCSNet - The Finest Internet Connectivity http://www.mcs.net/~karl | T1 from $600 monthly; speeds to DS-3 available | 23 Chicagoland Prefixes, 13 ISDN, much more Voice: [+1 312 803-MCS1 x219]| Email to "info@mcs.net" WWW: http://www.mcs.ne >>t/ Fax: [+1 312 248-9865] | Home of Chicago's only FULL Clarinet feed!
