The only diffs between my config file and GENERIC are: 1. softupdates 2. no support for hardware I haven't got 3. pty is 64 I am not actually complaining about the panic; I think the oss driver is a piece of crap. I just happened to have a soundcard that they support that the FreeBSD drivers don't, and a .wav file I wanted to listen to. What does disturb me is the damage done to a pretty quiet filesystem. I wouldn't have thought that toasting a whole bunch of files that were not in use would be the normal behavior. I have seen lots of panics, but have never seen filesystem damage as bad as this.
