I was getting this too until I applied the patch in PR kern/35004 from February 16. You can see it here: <http://www.freebsd.org/cgi/query-pr.cgi?pr=kern/35004>; I was hoping this would make it into 4.6 but apparently its still tagged as an open issue. It's worked for me (as I noted in the PR) fine for a few months on the RELENG_4_5 branch. -Scott -- Scott Lampert <scott@lampert.org> "They that can give up essential liberty to obtain a little temporary safety deserve neither liberty nor safety." -Benjamin Franklin, 1759 Public Key: http://www.lampert.org/lampert.key --=.0utxbM1QU9,ZM8 Content-Type: application/pgp-signature -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.0.7 (FreeBSD) iD8DBQE9L/TPSVL3/uWE7xYRAjoMAJ0QZG98BxZqCcYSunrU7Qb7kZ2kAACfYCav FAjrj+XE0Wt82lSkBxfTpPU= =yav2 -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- --=.0utxbM1QU9,ZM8-- To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
