I've seen panics within hours, although days is more likely. Little difference between the drivers: under both sym and ncr I've had it stable for a week (under ncr, it's gone for several weeks in school holidays when the box was less loaded), then at the end of last week repeated panics within minutes or a few hours of startup. > Do you have any way to easily reproduce it?

Not easily, since I have now split this box into multiple squidlets to reduce the load on any one. Other servers are far less affected. I could force the issue by removing RAM and forcing them to swap, but I don't think users would appreciate why I should do that ;-) http://www.freebsd.org/cgi/getmsg.cgi?fetch=99708+0+/usr/local/www/db/text/1999/freebsd-hackers/19991031.freebsd-hackers To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
