Well As you can imply from the subject, I have now installed 3.2 and I can
reproduce the problem
in exactly the same way.

On further investigation, I found that a recursive copy of the cvsup
directory would also cause the problem.

So I began to suspect the configuration (I have checked the disks with the
Adaptec SCSI utility,
and done a make world without finding any problems). The disk that I am
writing to has a null mount
of /home, ie:

/home -> /targetdisk/home (null)

When I changed this to a Union mount, the system (only tested on 3.2) no
longer crashes,
but now I get hundreds of:

vnode_pager: *** WARNING *** stale FS getpages

messages.

I would like to mount this disk on /home rather than using a symlink, are
there any workarounds for this? Is it a known problem?
