Q: If you have a crash, please supply a backtrace from the dump analysis as discussed below under Kernel Panics. Please don't delete the crash dump; it may be needed for further analysis. A: Sorry, I don't have a crash dump. I tried creating one when the computer had crashed by giving the commands "panic" and then "continue" but that didn't help. Was this of any help?Not much, unfortunately. I think that these problems occur as the result of some hardware failure, but there's nothing in what you've supplied to indicate that. If you can't repeat it, I fear that it's yet another of the ones that got away.
I have now managed to produce a crash dump but I'm not sure if it's any good or not. For some reason I tried to give ddb the "panic" command twice in a row and then it at least produced a crash dump but I'm not sure if it contains any information. Here is a backtrace at least. Keep in mind that I'm not a C programmer and have no experience with gdb so I must be told what to do to produce more information.

I don't know if this backtrace is any good or if it just refers to the panic-command I typed into ddb. At least this one doesn't refer to g_dev_strategy or any functions called vinum-something. But the instruction pointer, fault virtual address and fault code are the same as before.
If this is something to look deeper into, please tell me which commands to enter into gdb etc.
Also, I can make the kernel + modules + crashdump available on for example FTP or web if need be.
There have also been some problems with GEOM lately. Maybe, despite all indications, it's a GEOM problem. You should probably upgrade.
I was going to try CURRENT (still using RELENG_5_1 here now) but I haven't gotten to it yet. I'm actually a bit scared of going to CURRENT, especially since there seems to be mentions of GEOM/Vinum issues which are apparently not resolved.
