Hi,
My -CURRENT box often panices when exiting from X server to console
running in VESA_800x600 mode. I was observing this weird behaviour for
quite some time now. Also I've noted that the chances of system going
down is directly related to the presence of disk activity during the
mode change - i

I typicly run without any swap space configured -- 320Mb of RAM is
usually fine. However, after noticing a message "get swap space failed"
(or similar) in the nightly report, I tried to tell my Nov 5 -current to
swapon /dev/da0b
I used to do this with full impunity in the past

My -CURRENT box got this panic tonight. Apparently, null_inactive tries
to vput NULL lowervp vnode, but how lowervp has managed to become NULL
is not immediately clear for me :( I have crash dump available, if
anyone is interested.

Because you define as "irrational" those opinions that don't agree with

as for JFS, it is developed by IBM for Linux and
is licensed under GPL, so we could put this into
