Also are there any other problems that should be fixed with > FreeBSD 2.2.6-RELEASE before putting it into a commercial situation. I've experienced kern/5117 and kern/6102 under 2.2.5 and 2.2.6. This problem, a "biodone: buffer not busy" panic, occurs under heavy I/O load to SCSI devices (disk drive, CDROM drive, 4mm tape drive, and Zip disk drive), especially when most/all are being heavily used simultaneously. Heavy use of the two EIDE disks on the same system doesn't cause a panic. In every case the Zip drive was writing during the course of panic. > > kern/4844 VM lookup, endless loop in vm_map_lookup_lookup_entry() > this PR was closed on Apr26 1998 > > kern/6258 VM lookup on kernel map........ > this PR was closed on Apr26 1998 I've been using a vfs_bio.c that John Dyson had posted to -stable since December. It's fixed the problem for me. His fix was different from the one in kern/6258. Since you've got my curiosity piqued, I'll have to examine the differences. > Regards Craig Wilson > National Software Pty Ltd Regards, Phone: (250)387-8437 Cy Schubert Fax: (250)387-5766 Open Systems Group Internet: cschuber@uumail.gov.bc.ca ITSD Cy.Schubert@gems8.gov.bc.ca Government of BC To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-stable" in the body of the message
