Bezüglich Stephen Mcconnell's Nachricht vom 01.06.2017 19:36 (localtime): > Can you try the attached patch and let me know how it goes?

Thanks a lot, I noticed the highly appreciated MFC! Things are cooking... There were sysdecode userland changes, so I need to buidl world also, before my rollout system provides the update for this machine – will be ready in an hour. Since I have expert's attention, I'd like to ask a another mps(4) related question: I had unionfs deadlocks. (I'm aware of the broken status of unionfs, and since I'm not able to fix it myself at the moment, I already replaced it with nullfs where possible, true for the following event) Since this machine has a memory-disk as rootfs (and 5 SSDs via mps(4) for bootpool and a separate syspool, where /var e.g. lives), I guess the deadlock is responsible for simultanious disappearance of all mps(4) attached drives. Is that plausable? (meaning, does the mps(4) driver depend on filesystem subsystem?) Or do you have any idea what else could lead to disapearance of all drives simultaniously? Other ata drives, via on-board ahci (C203) were not affected! UNfortunately, I haven't been able to record any kernel messages when that happened (3 times as far as I remember, no occurence since abandoning unionfs yet) Thanks, -harry
