I agree, I do not think anyone here is complaining, just trying to pass along information to help isolate the problem or just identify that there is a real one. while I wish I had the time to be a more active "core" member, the best I can be is part of the "informal" test organization and porting apps as time permits for local folks running stable. I try to keep up with the cvs msgs and do a rebuild weekly or when I see a "try this" type message to provide stability feedback or help confirm that lone message that comes in that says "my system crashed" and the first reponses are "must be your hardware". I know I have avoided swapping drives/cards/SIMMS because of the many folks running current who can send at least a confirmation message that says "I saw something like that to, thought it was just me". Isn't this what "current" folks are supposed to be doing? Hmmm, just saw a message that says more VOP changes coming :-) Jim Leppek > From owner-freebsd-current@freefall.freebsd.org Sun Sep 10 12:37:24 1995 > From: faulkner@mpd.tandem.com (Boyd Faulkner) > Subject: Re: sig 11 > To: jdl@chromatic.com > Date: Sun, 10 Sep 1995 11:30:01 -0500 (CDT) > Cc: jc@irbs.com, freebsd-current@freebsd.org > X-Mailer: ELM [version 2.4 PL17] > Content-Type> : > text> > Sender: current-owner@freebsd.org > > > > > John Capo scribbled: > > > These kinds of problems are all part of running -current.
