Judging from my experiences I'd say the problem got introduced sometime in the month of August -- eversince that, though I tracked -stable, the problem manifested continously. But there is something that we should pay attention: Alan Cox's patch on sys/i386/include/atomic.h,sys/i386/i386/atomic.c (committed 24th August in RELENG_3) and Luigi's suggested patch on sys/vm/vm_object.h -- you can get the details tracking the "3.2-STABLE hangs after several hours" thread started 19th August on -stable. Re-reading the thread I realise that the problems seem to have started on 28th July -- at least 6th August for me. Could someone suggest me a way to catch where the problem hides itself ? Could "INVARIANTS" in kernel help me ? Thanks, Ady (@warpnet.ro) To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-stable" in the body of the message
