Did you send anything to the SCSI list about this? I don't remember seeing anything said about it. I've seen panics on -stable and -current with cdda2wav; they seem to be related to shared memory usage. It'll probably take someone more familiar with the VM system to sort them out, though. The problem doesn't seem to be directly attributable to CAM, but it my be exacerbated by CAM. It looks like cdrecord uses shared memory as well, so the panic may be similar. Can you send me a stack trace? Ken -- Kenneth Merry ken@plutotech.com To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-hardware" in the body of the message
