Hey, Could someone test the following:
# mdconfig -a -t malloc -s 4m -u 0 # disklabel -r -w md0 auto # newfs /dev/md0c # tunefs -n enable /dev/md0c # mount /dev/md0c /mnt ( the above is directly copied from `man mdconfig') # cd /mnt # ~/fsx test.file On my machine this produces a hard freeze, I have to hold the power button on the case for several seconds to get a reboot. I found something else when I discovered the above behavior. If you try and start X while a background fsck is working the machine will lock up and then reboot of its own accord. I'm going to test without setting softupdates now. # uname -a FreeBSD gallium 5.0-CURRENT FreeBSD 5.0-CURRENT #3: Fri Dec 21 22:06:00 GMT 2001 dominic@gallium:/usr/obj/usr/src/sys/GALLIUM i386 I can provide any other information you need on request. -- Dominic To Unsubscribe: send mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with "unsubscribe freebsd-hackers" in the body of the message
