Yes, it's very consistent - usually about 30 - 40 seconds after hitting 'enter' on the 'tar zxvf my_home_dir.tgz' ;-) > > The panic details are below - I've heard nasty things about crashdumps at > > the moment - are these safe to enable now? > > I haven't seen any problems.

I'll see if I can get some crash dumps going (after I've backed up ;-) - The vinum is the one that's in the 3.0-Current source tree, I'm not too sure how 'new' this version is... Are you maintaining the version in the tree - or are the updates still on your system? (Is there anywhere in /usr/src/lkm/vinum I can find the version number?)
