Thats a lame excuse, use RELENG_4 and be done with it for now, this problem is a serious showstopper for alot of people on exactly that branch. If you want vinum to gain users, RELENG_4 is the one tree you should care for _now_. > > Have you tried running a RAID5 on intel HW and have INVARIANTS in > > the kernel as I asked you to ?? > > No, for the above reason. > > > Have you looked at the dumps I've put up that you asked for ?? > > Yes.

Thats exactly what RELENG_4 is for... *Sigh*, let me ask it this way then, are you going to invest the time in getting it to work any time soon ??, we have now been running in circles for over a week waiting for you to take this seriously... I need to know, and I need to know _soon_, or I'll have to either fix vinum myself, or use/invent something else... -Søren To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-current" in the body of the message
