There's certainly one thing which jumps out: > Jan 10 22:17:07 bee kernel: vinum: CONFIGURATION OBLITERATED > Jan 10 22:17:16 bee kernel: vinum: exiting with malloc table inconsistency at 0xc6c14800 from vinumio.c:868 I haven't seen anything like that for a long time. I should go looking for what happened. > Jan 10 22:29:09 bee kernel: vinum: raid5.p0.s1 is up > Jan 10 23:02:32 bee kernel: vinum: exiting with malloc table inconsistency at 0xc6aff800 from vinumio.c:868 There are several more instances. It's a pity you didn't include the Vinum history file. Unfortunately, I'm currently involved in running an important conference, due to start in about 13 hours, and I'll be involved for a week. During that time, the chances of me even looking at Vinum bugs are minimal. But that's a smoking gun, and I'll certainly look at it when I come back to normal.
