Hi folks, I just saw one of my FreeBSD servers (7.0-stable of June 2008) crash while trying to access the .zfs snapshot directory via a nfs client machine. The server got a page fault caused by the nfsd process. It wasn't even able to dump the kernel image anymore. Resetting the machine it first appeared to come back fine, but shortly before the login prompt the nfsd let it crash hard again the same way as before. Then I booted single user, fscked the ufs partitions by hand and had to re-import the zpool with -f. After that I did another reboot, whereupon everything was fine again. As I need that machine I'm a bit unwilling to try accessing the snapshot directory again via nfs right now. :-) So here are some questions before I do anything else: - Did anyone else already see this behaviour? - Is there something wrong with accessing the snapshot directory via nfs? - Does zfs stability profit from an update to a recent -stable? Any answers or further thoughts/hints on this are very welcome. cu Gerrit
