Installed 3.4 on a machine and upgraded yesterday to 3.4-S (possibly coincidental). Machine seems okay. Will do a "make -j300 world" no problem. However, a non-stress test, running general commands, produces errors similar to the following: spec_getpages: I/O read failure: (error code=5) size: 16384, resid: 16384, a_count=16384, valid 0x0 nread: 0, reqpage=0, pindex: 0, pcount: 4 Leaving top running overnight and I find in the morning: # top Segmentation fault Jan 12 09:31:26 pan /kernel: spec_getpages: I/O read failure: (error code=5) 31:26 pan /kernel: spec_getpages: I/O read failure: (error code=5) # Jan 12 09:31:26 pan /kernel: spec_getpages: I/O read failure: (error code=5) Jan 12 09:31:26 pan /kernel: size: 36864, resid: 36864, a_count: 36864, valid: 0x0 Jan 12 09:31:26 pan /kernel: size: 36864, resid: 36864, a_count: 36864, valid: 0x0 Jan 12 09:31:26 pan /kernel: nread: 0, reqpage: 0, pindex: 0, pcount: 9 Jan 12 09:31:26 pan /kernel: nread: 0, reqpage: 0, pindex: 0, pcount: 9 Jan 12 09:31:26 pan /kernel: vm_fault: pager read error, pid 55845 (top) Jan 12 09:31:26 pan /kernel: vm_fault: pager read error, pid 55845 (top) Is this bad hardware?
