I have completed a series of buildworlds with -j3 to -j10 with no problem. I then started up a "folding at home" client, and repeated the buildworlds. No panics, but in the second set I did have one buildworld (-j9) which failed with four processes apparently getting a "*** Signal 6". I am not sure what that was about. Note that all these builds were done with a `make' that was compiled to USE_KQUEUE , so maybe that's where the Signal's came from. In any case, the machine is still running fine, even after that heavy pounding. -- Garance Alistair Drosehn = gad_at_gilead.netel.rpi.edu Senior Systems Programmer or gad_at_freebsd.org Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute or drosih_at_rpi.eduReceived on Mon Aug 23 2004 - 16:17:37 UTC
