Always during a rm -fr on a directory tree checked out of cvs. Several passes are needed to get the FS clean again. This tree only had a few directories and only 1 directory was un-referenced. The other instances have been on full -stable trees and 100s of directories were un-referenced. The system is a 486/66 with an Adaptec 1542B that I have been using since 0.1 days and it has always been rock solid. The kernel is pretty much stock -stable. The only difference in this kernel and the ones I have run for the last 4 months is DDB and KTRACE. This is the first -stable kernel I have run with those options. I have reverted to my normal kernel and I will see if I can break it again.
