Sadly, disabling soft updates does not fix the problem. I got one more VFS crash after disabling them. Still, a single dump while building around 1000 ports is a huge improvement! Having soft updates enabled clearly makes the likelihood of a crash much greater. I have opened ticket 266145 on this problem if you want to see if this goes anywhere. Since it looks like a mix of performance and efficiency core will be hte norm from now on from both Intel and AMD, this clearly will need some attention soon. -- Kevin Oberman, Part time kid herder and retired Network Engineer E-mail: rkoberman@gmail.com PGP Fingerprint: D03FB98AFA78E3B78C1694B318AB39EF1B055683 --0000000000000329f205e7e0f3f9 Content-Type: text/html; charset="UTF-8" Content-Transfer-Encoding: quoted-printable <div dir=3D"ltr"><div dir=3D"ltr"><div class=3D"gmail_default" style=3D"fon= t-family:tahoma,sans-serif;font-size:small">On Sat, Aug 20, 2022 at 11:45 A= M Amar Takhar <<a href=3D"mailto:verm@darkbeer.org">verm@darkbeer.org</a= >> wrote:<br></div></div><div class=3D"gmail_quote"><blockquote class=3D= "gmail_quote" style=3D"margin:0px 0px 0px 0.8ex;border-left:1px solid rgb(2= 04,204,204);padding-left:1ex">On 2022-08-20 11:36 -0700, Kevin Oberman wrot= e:<br> <snip><br> > Wow!
