Hi,

Just to follow on from my earlier post.  The box dies whilst running a
4.4-RELEASE kernel, whereas it does not when running 4.3-RELEASE-p20

It's been suggested to me that as dirprefs arrived on the RELENG_4 branch
subsequent to -RELEASE, the code shouldn't be present on my system and hence
it's logical to rule that out as a cause.  I'm still wondering about this ffs
angle though.

Below is a top snippet highlighting the state strangeness..

last pid:   321;  load averages:  0.08,  0.30,  0.24 up 0+00:43:03  16:50:19
31 processes:  1 running, 30 sleeping
CPU states:  0.0% user,  0.0% nice,  0.0% system,  0.0% interrupt,  100% idle
Mem: 172M Active, 778M Inact, 232M Wired, 8K Cache, 163M Buf, 325M Free
Swap: 1024M Total, 1024M Free

  PID USERNAME        PRI NICE  SIZE    RES STATE    TIME   WCPU    CPU COMMAND

[...]

  261 nobody          -18   0  7092K  5332K ffsvgt   0:01  0.00%  0.00% httpd
  148 root            -18   0   968K   716K ffsvgt   0:00  0.00%  0.00% cron

The other processes look to be in pretty normal states, however the machine
hangs and is unresponsive to further commands or connections, though top
actually carries on updating so I guess it's not entirely dead in the water.

In the meantime I'm running with the 4.3-REL kernel, but I fear that perhaps
the same thing will come and bite me on the ass when time comes to upgrade so
if anyone has any pearls of wisdom to share, fire away.
