The SUBJECT of this threat is: 3.2-stable, PANIC NUMBER 12 It is the latest in a series of threads, all started by david, which talked about previous PANICs that he has been grappling with since a recent upgrade to FreeBSD (among other things). I guess that was not upfront enough. I will have to chide david for being so devious with the topics he posts to hackers. More seriously, I expect you were trying to be helpful with your code-review response, but you really did completely misread the messages that David has been posting. It would be easier to just admit that and forget about it, than to try and convince people that your reply made ANY sense given the messages David has been posting while tracking down this very vexing ("PANIC NUMBER 12") problem that we (RPI) have been trying to pin down. --- Garance Alistair Drosehn = gad@eclipse.acs.rpi.edu Senior Systems Programmer or drosih@rpi.edu Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-hackers" in the body of the message
