I'm currently using 4.0-19991012-CURRENT and trying -- so far, unsuccessfully -- to break it (as I broke(*) 3.2-R & 3.3-R) with a script that does some fairly aggressive file creation/deletion. I haven't done much more than that with it, though. (Well, I persuaded it to "play nice" in our Engineering net, NIS and all. And it uses amd OK.) (I'm stress-testing the machine because I'm trying to set up a new amanda server, and I want to do a better job of it than I did last time. The script is kinda dumb, but moderately effective, at simulating the kind of load an active amanda server puts on ts "holding disk".) *"Broke" as in panic. Called Julian over to have a look; he suggested trying 3.3-R, then a recent CURRENT snap. Panic, as I recall, was whimpering about an attempt to free a vnode that was already marked free.
