I am using FreeBSD-Current (post 5.2-RELEASE) and have created a vnode backed vn using these commands: mdconfig -a -t vnode -s 8G -f somebackingfile -u 0 (I tried 4G and 2G, too) bsdlabel -w md0 auto newfs md0c mount /dev/md0c /mnt Then I started copying files or doing a make installworld DESTDIR=/mnt from /usr/src and md hangs after some time copying. The md device and all processes accessing it cannot be accessed, only a hardware reset is possible to survive, reboot command doesn't work, too. I was able to reproduce this system on various system configurations (all i386, with up to 2GB memory with AMD K6-3, Athlon or Intel P4 processors), so it doesnt seem to be caused by my system configuration. I am using a clean FreeBSD install. It does not depend on mdconfig flags or if system is mounted asynchronously/synchronously, too, tried to turn off clustering, make mount synchronous, no help. This problem does not occur with FreeBSD 4 (using vn driver).Received on Mon Jan 19 2004 - 11:21:46 UTC
