Periodically if I do some ``heavy'' writes to the concatenated disk it causes the system to panic and reboot. I'm not sure it's because of vinum, but my guess is that it is -- on the same two disks is a mirrored volume which has no write problems. My questions are first) has anybody else heard of this? Any solutions or ideas? and secondly) how can I effectively go about debugging this? This is a headless machine and it reboots often before I realise, so I can't see the diagnostic messages. With some debugging symbols in the kernel can I provide useful stuff for somebody to look at? Will my vinum config be useful for helping resolve this issue? Thanks very much, -lewiz. --=20 I was so much older then, I'm younger than that now. --Bob Dylan, 1964. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ -| msn:purple@lewiz.net | jab:lewiz@jabber.org | url:http://lewiz.net |- --Kj7319i9nmIyA2yE Content-Type: application/pgp-signature Content-Disposition: inline -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.2.3 (FreeBSD) iD8DBQE/hVSAItq0KFQv7T8RAoyTAKDoG1WpW0XOthh4v+rYzYVbZveuHwCglKQg eZvRI8E6VFXGYCb8ySOcWQQ= =YuE7 -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- --Kj7319i9nmIyA2yE--
