To: All Those Concearned For the Health and Welfare of FreeBSD
I have come across what seems to me to be a big problem with FreeBSD 4.4;
something I will call SFDS.
On multiple occasions and under different circumstances my FreeBSD 4.4
i386machine has just suddenly died leaving my filesystem in an inconsisent
state. I have included my dmesg for those interested.
The first instance, which I was able to recreate twice (I was not
interested in going for a third,) was when downloading a large file
(~600 MB) through ftp using Mozilla 0.9.6. This Mozilla was simply the
binary for FreeBSD available at the Mozilla site and not self-compiled.
As soon as the download is complete the entire system will just die then
leaving my filesystem inconsistent. The Mozilla binary was run by a
standard non-root user. This does not occur when downloading
files of a relatively smaller size.
The second instance was when trying to watch a DVD using Ogle-0.8.1 which
I installed using the available FreeBSD package. After a time of trying
to do something, I believe it was decoding using the dvd-css library, the
entire system just suddenly died. The Ogle binary was run by root when
this occured.
I do not understand how the operating system can allow any user program to
cause such an event and am at a loss for the cause. If anyone requires
further details then please feel free to give me an email.
With your help, we can end SFDS in our time.
Regards,
Nick
