I have done a cvs update on the whole root tree, well, the repository was the default (certainly not local, but I'd say I have fairly decent connectivity, and there was quite some stress on the drive). I had also done something that should be comparable. I had the initial system on a disk on my Adaptec controller, and as the first stress test I copied over the whole system (~13GB) with dump | restore to the raid (so, /usr/src and /usr/ports were included there). And, I just unpacked X11R6.4 sources, which also caused quite a bit of stress. Still running :) Might have to add I've enabled softdeps on all partitions, this could change the usage pattern slightly (don't know whether to the better or worse regarding crash likelyhood). About my source tree: I tried some other changes before, and some of them are still in my sources (and were not in the included diff). Since those changes by themselves didn't make a difference, I didn't include them. However, if someone should still get crashes with just the minimal diffs, I can include the complete diffs to fully reproduce my sources. Markus -- KPNQwest Switzerland Ltd P.O.
