If you can't get a panic, or core, then I would stick a ps and sysctl -a vm in a crontab */2 and see where it leads. The patch changes a lot of things in a lot of parts of the kernel, so even if I would understand most of it an educated guess without a kerneldump is nothing more than a guess. The original poster had a production server running into trouble and asked about any known issues, so I told him how to get his server back in shape, so he can worry about the why part later, in a debug environment. I have one old box to migrate this week, which is a non-critical box with a lot of diskspace, so I could do two seperate installs and compare notes. -- Melvyn ======================================================= FreeBSD ghost.lan.webteckies.org 4.8-STABLE FreeBSD 4.8-STABLE #2: Sat Aug 2 19:45:34 CEST 2003 root@ghost.lan.webteckies.org:/usr/obj/usr/src/sys/GHOST i386 ======================================================= [-- Attachment #2 --] -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.2.2 (FreeBSD) iD8DBQA/Nv6NOv9JNmfFN5URApSpAJsFxrTEnZJ3HJrU/tPAHXkAokgGBACfXmSy RuWTKB42TWQ0HjwwZ5yve9Q= =P5zm -----END PGP SIGNATURE-----
