Dear Sean Lutner, I have only had a superficial look at this thread; yet I seem to=20 understand that the specific problem was solved (with)in a couple (!)=20 of days (NOT weeks). AFAIR, there is commercial FreeBSD support available somewhere=20 (FreeBSD Mall ? Others ?). If you will pay in order to have your=20 production machines back running in [a] few hours rather than in a=20 couple of days, you can hire excellent technicians, cant'you ? :-) Best regards, Salvo To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-stable" in the body of the message
