So guys, thanks for all the responses - it's nice to know I've got a real neat bug here !! :-) (I'm relieved that no ones come back with a RTFM or somesuch - thought maybe I was going nuts!) Where do I go from here? Am I in deep trouble? If I recompile the kernel with DDB in will that help anyone? If so how? Should I look for another job???? :-) I must point out I'm no kernel hacker so am rather in the dark here. I currently have another machine running FreeBSD 1.0 which (mostly) happily accesses 11 drives so this bug seems to have been introduced sometime since then? Any suggestions??
