I'm very happy to see the progress. Both of my -CURRENT machines run with DEBUG_VFS_LOCKS enabled. It is very rare that I run into problems. Doing funny things with procfs is one way to trigger assertion failures, and I think there might be a bug or two left in nullfs and/or unionfs, but I don't use those. It's probably wise to write down the proper DDB incantations to disable the code triggered by the assertion failures in case you get into trouble.Received on Fri Dec 12 2003 - 15:47:26 UTC
