This patch has been extensively tested with NFS and with FFS+softupdates and has not screwed up yet, so I'm reasonably confident that it will not scrap whole filesystems :-) http://www.backplane.com/FreeBSD4/ Please remember to back-out all prior patches before applying this one. Note that the memory-zeroing code ( which is committed to -current ), is *correct* and should not be disabled. This patch is for CURRENT ONLY. Do not apply to -3.x unless you like seeing computer equipment melt! The only difference between patch #5 and patch #6 is that the VMIO directory backing mods have been removed. These mods worked, but appear to have resulted in an occassional softupdates panic during 'installworld'. It is more important for us to have a rock solid implementation then majorly optimized implementation, so... The patch will probably return later on when we figure out why it is causing softupdates to panic. Please post bug reports to -current or -hackers. -Matt To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-hackers" in the body of the message
