David has come up with a work-around, and last night (at about 4:00 AM my time) finally I found my bug. The bug was NOT in the new VFS layered GETPAGES routine where I kept looking :-(, but in some of the mods to the clustering code for EXT2FS!!! In hindsight, the code was pathetically broken, but could not see it. I am going to wait until at least 16:00 EST to commit the fix (and another one that DG found in the ufs_bmap code from Lite and Lite-2) so that everyone can grab a working system. The work-around does impact read perf significantly, but of course that is better than Sig-11s all over the place :-). The performance with the complete fix will be better again. I am so glad that DG pointed me in the right direction on this problem, otherwise I would have spent more time spinning my wheels!!! Thanks David!!! Also, look forward to the fix being commited today... I'll email to -current when it happens.... Now, I get to sleep tonight... John dyson@freebsd.org
