Please check again http://www.FreeBSD.org/cgi/query-pr.cgi?pr=22103 During symbol reading, inner block (0xc1505000-0xc150500a) not inside outer block (0xc150bc0c-0xc150c3c2).

I'm terribly sorry, but I won't be able to assist you any further. The machine in question uses vinum raid-1 now, and is going to receive Mylex very soon. vinum RAID-5 is dangerous, shouldn't be used in sensitive environments, and it cost me much health. --Roman Shterenzon, UNIX System Administrator and Consultant [ Xpert UNIX Systems Ltd., Herzlia, Israel.
