Now, These are similar symptoms I was seeing until last night (until I fixed (a)). Make sure a) The filesystem you're running softupdates on isnt mounted 'async' b) You're using the most recent version of the softupdates code from http://www.freebsd.org/~julian Since correcting the first problem, I've finished two 'make world -j8's without a hitch. I'll run some more stress-tests over the weekend and see if I can't get it to die, but so far I'm quite happy with what I see. Thanks, Julian!
