(Not a developer, though :) Once I was using 3.1-R on a PC with some (few) bad blocks on IDE disks, and some sectors in swap area were also suspicious. Result: Sometimes FreeBSD just freezed (under X, mostly). It never rebooted. Also an attempt to boot a system faulty disk usually caused some-kind-of-freeze-during-zillions-of-fsck complaints. But the OS was not guilty in either case. -- << Marcin Cieslak // saper@system.pl >> ----------------------------------------------------------------- SYSTEM Internet Provider http://www.system.pl To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-stable" in the body of the message
