Dear Cognosenti, I'm running a 2.1-stable system taken from the tree on or about December 6, and have had a perplexing crash. I'm wondering if this sounds familiar to anybody and whether it's a known (and hopefully fixed!) bug. A user (unprivileged) was running mail (yes, /usr/bin/mail). When he exited, the process hung in a vmopar state. At approximatly the same time a message was logged to /var/log/messages which said: /kernel: biodone: buffer already done Some hours later (the process was still hung) the same user attempted to invoke mail again. This brought on a system panic, which logged the message: /kernel: panic: vinvalbuf: flush failed Unfortunately, I don't have a dump to do a postmortem on. If it happens again, I will. Any and all suggestions are welcome. Please send them to ejon@zipnet.net, as I'm currently too mobile to subscribe to ANY mailing lists. Also please cc: wink@tiac.net as he is definitely interested in the outcome of discussions. Thanks, Eric
