I had the same thing on 7.1-STABLE with sources @2009-03-14 (last
Saturday). The machine had no hardware failures running 6.x...6.4 in
the last 3 years running about 20..25 Jails.
Therefore I don't think it is a hardware error.
The crash happened during someone recompiling most of his packages in
jail while running cvsup on /usr/ports in another jail. So there was
pretty much I/O and CPU usage. After crash the geom_mirror was degraded
on ad4 (ad6 working).
I guess
a) the vmcore was successfully written to the SWAP
b) geom_mirror is unstable under heavy load, maybe it's the
origin of the crash. swap resides on that geom_mirror, too.
I'm not yet able to get some useful information out of the 230MB vmcore.0
Maybe I may provide useful information about the crash if someone can
tell me about how to get theese from vmcore.0.
