But SMP. I don't think SMP would do it, although it's possible. I just noticed that even though the 5.5 machines I found were using an SMP kernel, hw.ncpu=1 for them all. > %uname -a > FreeBSD kerb.infotropic.com 5.5-RELEASE FreeBSD 5.5-RELEASE #0: Sat Oct 28 > 01:12:00 CEST 2006 More probable is that there were 5.5 bugs which were fixed by 5.5-p8. Maybe you want to give that a try? I will certainly ask around here if anyone had to do anything special to get things to work. > It took some time, and maybe the cache managed to fill up.

I know that arla had some various bugs in the past; without a more detailed message, I can't say for sure what happened. I certainly hope someone can futz around with getting arla to work with the post-nerfed VFS changes in 6.x. Maybe that same person would be willing to help me get HFS+ working too. I gave up on both these projects because the APIs kept shifting while I was trying to get them to work, and I just don't have the time to relearn everything and familiarize myself with the new locking mechanisms. -- Rick C.
