I built a successful release here overnight, but noticing a few small bugs, I wanted to run it again. So I decide to test out soft updates to speed up the second build. The machine completely wedged a few hours into the process. It seemed that interrupts still worked (num lock toggled), but having left the machine running X, I couldn't get into the debugger. My guess is some kind of resource shortage/loop at high spl. I will try to reproduce this with a serial console after I get this CAM release out the door. BTW, most of the I/O was going to an LVD Cheetah drive which peaks out at ~19MB/s and ~260 tps, and certain portions of make release will peg this disk. -- Justin To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-current" in the body of the message
