No. I've think that your interesed in PR about any "supported" release,
i.e.
3.0-3.2 for now. Ok, now I understand if my OS isn't stable - I can go to
hell.
Please WRITE this with RED <H1> font in Handbook. And you'll get 50 times
less problem reports. I don't catch this before your flame - thanks.
I swear NEVER report a problem if my OS isn't stable.
Sorry for you time, Sergey.
P.S.: Let's close this meaningless discussion. I ack, I was wrong ...
P.P.S.: I've wrote my tech PR again before read [1]. You are free to ignore
it,
because 3.1R is too old to carry.

It's same instability, because it gives same panic message in same
context.
panic: lockmgr: locking against myself.
This doesn't depend on running processes or system load.
This happens on exiting from '[','date'. One time in 'syncer'.
This happens randomly - so long time I was sure that this
is hardware problems. Once per 1-3 days.
I've got it when using softupdates (tunefs -n enable) and
when not using (tunefs -n disable).

I do, but it was ignored.
[ my advocacy ]
Ok, I agree my last claim (about RELEASES instability) in this thread
is out-of-context. A little prehistory...
I've sent technical description in my early messages (before this thread).
Got only ONE reply, checked solution - it doesn't work, I notify this
person (@FreeBSD.ORG), but he ignores me... I was not satisfied
with results, but I have NO new info to raise problem technically again...
To be honest 3.1 instability is not problem for me - I have great 2.2.8
server! My target was notify you about problems and hear that this is
known and solved (or work in progress at least).
In this thread I want get only statistics and personal's opinion - NOT
solution
for 3.1R problem. But get almost NOTHING. Actually this looks like as no one
cares about stability ... Why?
So I've got new info at last - problem is NOT hardware dependent.
But, If so why, no one cares about my previous technical PR?
Does this mean that all similar reports ignored? This why I
downgrade my message to emotional level ;) It worked!
