I have been updating my kernel as large changes come along and have been amazed at the stability of the OS and the filesystem. When I first installed FreeBSD 3.0-RELEASE on an old compaq server, the ncr SCSI driver had some nasty troubles with it that caused the filesystem to corrupt and the kernel to panic whenever the scsi bus was put under more than a moderate load. --cokane To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-stable" in the body of the message
