That's why I added that question about drive cache flushing. I'll see to running with forced hw.ata.wc="0" and see if I can reproduce that problem. May be a while while before I see the problem again, these are very scarce fortunately (actually, the first SOFTDEP issue on this machine at all). OTOH, this is an IBM desktop drive in disguise, so the blatant firmware errors should be known by now. -- Matthias Andree _______________________________________________ freebsd-stable_at_freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-stable To unsubscribe, send any mail to "freebsd-stable-unsubscribe_at_freebsd.org"Received on Wed Nov 24 2004 - 15:34:11 UTC
