It looks like > a softupdates problem for sure. ugh, what fun this is, yes, i'm using vinum, softupdates, nfs and ata, but da for the vinum backing. I think i'm one of the bio bug posterboys. Anyhow, it seems that the problem happens because somewhere softupdates (or something else perhaps) LK_KERNPROCs the buffer and never lets go. I've been trying to compile with DEBUG_LOCKS for nearly half an hour but i'm having difficulty with vinum because i think it's intent on giving me a hard time w/ matching itself and the kernel and the userland. argh.. :) -Alfred To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-current" in the body of the message
