I just got another one on the Diablo machine. This is EXTREMELY reproducable in that environment; I can kill the system within 10 minutes, and this time when it came back up the filesystem had serious damage. Note that if I turn off softupdates on the SPOOL disk (leaving it on for all other drives, except root) it DOES NOT panic. This has to be related to the I/O pattern in that application. -- -- Karl Denninger (karl@MCS.Net)| MCSNet - Serving Chicagoland and Wisconsin http://www.mcs.net/ | T1's from $600 monthly / All Lines K56Flex/DOV | NEW!
