Hmm... that is a bit long for us... 3 weeks, 21 days at 1.7 day/panic = 0.59 Panic/Day == 21 (day) * 0.59(day/panic) [remeber to check your units ;] that's another 12 panics for us (if they keep up at the current rate). Luckily since we have backed down to NFSv2 we are a bit more stable. The only reason the server went down today is because the IDE disk decided to flake out. It was amazing, even though the OS disk was dead it still continued to serve some NFS requests (from different partitions of course :) Don't get me wrong, I agree this is the correct procedure, but I plan to roll my own nfs_serv.c untill it gets MFC-ed... and I'll be able to provide you with some real world test results of the new code on -STABLE. -- David Cross | email: crossd@cs.rpi.edu Systems Administrator/Research Programmer | Web: http://www.cs.rpi.edu/~crossd Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute, | Ph: 518.276.2860 Department of Computer Science | Fax: 518.276.4033 I speak only for myself. | WinNT:Linux::Linux:FreeBSD To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-hackers" in the body of the message
