Someone else pointed this out to me earlier. $ grep FreeBSD /usr/src/sys/kern/uipc_mbuf.c * $FreeBSD: src/sys/kern/uipc_mbuf.c,v 1.51.2.13 2002/05/06 20:07:13 silby Exp $ $ I have two questions resulting from this: 1) Since I have updated very recently, why do I still have the 1.51.2.13 version? I must assume that the .18 version has been committed somewhere else (NOT RELENG_4_6). And that begs the question - why not? My understanding, which may well be wrong, is that the RELENG_4_6 branch is not updated with new features all the time, but it does receive security patches and critical patches affecting stability. Given that this box has now crashed 6 times in the last 72 hours I would consider that rather unstable. 2) Is there a safe way for me to apply this patch without risk of breaking something else. Please understand that I am not a hacker. The extent of my expertise ends with running cvsup and making the world. So - I could be chasing a problem that has been fixed. Or not. For the moment I am inclined to give this a little more time. If it turns out that we find a fresh bug, then perhaps my pain is to the benefit of other folks. But if we determine that the above patch is indeed the fix I need, then I simply need advice from you folks out there with more experience as to how best to go about getting that .18 or later version onto my system without deviating too far from the standard cvsup and make world procedures, if that is possible. Comments Greg? PS: my box has now been running 8 hours without problems since I rebuilt it with debugging enabled - I'm still watching and the kettle still ain't boiling! :/ --- Regards, Patrick O'Reilly. ___ _ __ / _ )__ __ (_)_ __ ___ _/ /____ __ / __/ -_) _) / ~ ) -_), ,-/ -_) _) /_/ \__/_//_/_/~/_/\__/ \__/\__/_/ http://www.perimeter.co.za To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
