However, most people working on FreeBSD have a steady state of being really busy and unfortunately some bug reports don't always get followed up on. Including stack traces with panic reports can greatly aid in getting the panics resolved. Note that the panic in specfs that a lot of folks were seeing has been recently fixed and I saw many unanswered reports of that panic as reports were coming in well after the problem had been identified and even fixed. The ata(4) driver was just rewritten and is a bit rocky apparently. I haven't dared to upgrade to it yet, so if it's trashing your disks you might want to keep an old kernel around to get work done with. :) -- John Baldwin <jhb_at_FreeBSD.org> <>< http://www.FreeBSD.org/~jhb/ "Power Users Use the Power to Serve!" - http://www.FreeBSD.org/Received on Tue Aug 26 2003 - 13:51:38 UTC
