I didn't say "disk error" I said "disk system" and I made a particular point in the first message of saying that such an error is most likely due to a combination of problems with the motherboard and disk. And YES, a disk subsystem error CAN crash the system in fact not only crash it but completely garbage the filesystem in the process. I think your own imagination has run away with you. ;-) Ted Mittelstaedt tedm@toybox.placo.com Author of: The FreeBSD Corporate Networker's Guide Book website: http://www.freebsd-corp-net-guide.com >-----Original Message----- >From: des@ofug.org [mailto:des@ofug.org] >Sent: Sunday, June 24, 2001 9:27 AM >To: Ted Mittelstaedt >Cc: js43064n@pace.edu; freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.ORG; >freebsd-stable@FreeBSD.ORG; freebsd-security@FreeBSD.ORG >Subject: Re: Kernel Panic > > >"Ted Mittelstaedt" <tedm@toybox.placo.com> writes: >> One other thing - the recursive script the user originally >posted does not >> appear to consume all free swap in the system.
