This is patently wrong. Please don't do this. Since this is an isolated report in a hard-to-reproduce environment (vmware), its difficult to say if this is a bug in our software or a bug in vmware.

I'd follow up with the vmware folks. > > -----Original Message----- > From: owner-freebsd-stable@freebsd.org > [mailto:owner-freebsd-stable@freebsd.org] On Behalf Of denon > Sent: Thursday, December 11, 2003 12:28 PM > To: freebsd-stable@freebsd.org > Subject: Re: FreeBSD 4.8 and instabilities with Buslogic SCSI drivers in > VMWare > > So there are no other thoughts on this?
