AFAIR I was having simlar problem with gbde on usb bar (da0) when file system from this device was mounted. I was able to fix panic in gbde, I was able to fix cam(4), but I wasn't able to fix UFS (maybe I should try harder). Anyway, without mounted file system it should be possible to fix this quite easy. --=20 Pawel Jakub Dawidek http://www.FreeBSD.org pjd@FreeBSD.org http://garage.freebsd.pl FreeBSD committer Am I Evil?
