> Did anyone who can trigger the data corruption has tried John's patch > and let us know if it worked? Not yet. My problem is that it's not that easy ... (at least for me, but maybe I'm missing something). The main issue for me is that I don't have a spare box running 7.x. All my FreeBSD boxes are running 6.x I've tried to make a new 7.1-BETA bootable ISO from the patched sources (make release), but failed ... this is the first time I've ever attempted this, and it seems that you cannot do that from a 6.x box (I have a full CVS mirror of FreeBSD, and a fresh checkout of RELENG_7). The next thing to do (which I already tried once, and that was also not an painless path) is to boot the box with FreeBSD-6.1 (amd64, no data corruption here) and upgrade to 7.x patching the sources along the way. I need to find a free afternoon in my agenda to fit this ... I will get back with info as soon as I have done it. Fernan
