Replying to myself again, I again doubled the bio_transient_maxcnt: original value 160, failed doubling 360, new value 720; and the machine was able to successfully "for i in jot 10; do make -j4 buildkernel; done" ... But doesn't this mean that we still have a resource exhaustion to worry about?

The first one (kern.geom.transient_map_retries) causes the system to wedge. The second one (default is 180, I doubled to 360) causes the system to crash but not dump. So... neither fixes the problem. On Sat, Aug 31, 2013 at 5:27 AM, Edward Tomasz Napierała wrote: > Wiadomość napisana przez Zap
