: That is interesting. So I guess the conclusion to this is, softupdates
:is useful for bursty IO, but not sustained because it can get far behind
:until it eventually reaches the point where the machine reboots silently.
:I guess the delay until reboot is dependent on the size of max_softdeps.
:If it is big, it takes a while.
:
: I still think that the default value of max_softdeps might be too big
:for the kernel memory space.
Well it sure isn't supposed to reboot silently! No panic message at
all? No printf?
Hopefully Kirk is around to help track down the problem but if not I'll
take a crack at it after newyears if you create a PR for it and assign
it to me.
