This is very interesting to know! It seems you have managed to get a lot more information out of it than I have. > As the box is remote with only ssh access, it's a little difficult to > debug this.

Possibly it is something about being run from cron maybe ? > I was not able to debug this any further yet, i have one other box with > all UFS and a ZFS backup disc also running latest 8-STABLE but it does > not exhibit the problem. Same here :-( My other box is identical hardware and almost config (UFS and ZFS) but it works fine. I am not sure that ym debug kernel will help now - assuming this is the same thing as you are seeing, it sounds like a process running amok rather than any kernel bug. Was yoour system a fresh install, or an upgrade from 7-STABLE ? -pete. _______________________________________________ freebsd-stable@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-stable To unsubscribe, send any mail to "freebsd-stable-unsubscr...@freebsd.org"
