The machine > is running a kernel from June 20. The only way to track these down is to use witness. By the time we get here it becomes a lot harder to track down. It does look to be alc@'s fault since it is a vm_map mutex however. To get better info, you are going to need to do the following in ddb when it panics: - Examine the mutex structure to find the lock owner, then examine the thread structure to find the proc pointer, and finally, examine the proc structure to find the pid. - or - - Change the panic message to print the PID. I just committed this. Then: - trace to see where it slept -- John Baldwin <>< http://www.FreeBSD.org/~jhb/ "Power Users Use the Power to Serve!" - http://www.FreeBSD.org/
