Mime-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii X-Mailer: Mutt 0.89i Sender: owner-freebsd-current@FreeBSD.ORG Precedence: bulk X-Loop: FreeBSD.ORG Unfortunately, I was pretty groggy (just gotten out of bed) when I noticed, so I made a few major mistakes (like not writing down the panic message). I did type trace, and noticed that at least half of the function names that showed up had 'soft' in the name. No partition has 'async' or 'noatime' specified. Everthing but '/' has softupdates. (some are mounted with some combination of nodev/nosuid/noexec). DEVFS and SLICE are absent. It happened during the installworld part of a make world (actually, installing awk at the time). It ate quite a few files (probably the last 20 written or so) from /usr, but none that mattered for 'make installworld' (fortunately). I will try to reproduce this, but it may take awhile (this is a amd486-133). Although, 'make world' takes ~6 hours now (based on the timestamp on /usr/obj/lkm/wcd/wcd_mod.o 4:31 -> 10:26). It used to take ~8 hours without softupdates. That's just a normal 'make world' with no 'NO***' options, and a clean /fs/scratch (erm... /usr/obj). installworld takes ~6-7 minutes. [ damned, that's only ~2.5 times longer than my wimpy little k6-233 w/o softupdates ] -- Zach Heilig -- zach@gaffaneys.com Real Programs don't use shared text. Otherwise, how can they use functions for scratch space after they are finished calling them?
