All I can say is that I've had this happen to me before. 'Me too' The ports were mounted in exact the same way, but with rw instead of ro. Also a few jails were running at the time, infact 3 were. All had /usr/ports mount_null'ed inside there jail. After running find from the usual periodic scripts it brought the machine down every time it ran that script. What I did to stop the box from panicing all the time at that one particular place, was just to disable the script that does the 'find' / locate. Off the top of my head I think it was /etc/periodic/weekly/310.locate. Once this was disabled (from inside and outside the jails), I didnt get any more panics from 'find'. Granted this isnt a fix, but it did save me from panic hell every week. If there is a better way / another way to 'mount_null' /usr/ports (or any other mount point for that matter) to other places in/on the filesystem, by using NFS or other such things, then speak up! I don't like getting panics more then anyone else does ;> Regards, James. -- This message has been scanned for viruses and dangerous content by MailScanner, and is believed to be clean.
