--- Comment #1 from Ed Maste <[email protected]> --- We definitely need something like this change. I'm a little worried that this introduces a window in normal operation though where the watchdog is ineffective, between wbwd attach and watchdogd starting up. For example we may have a driver which intermittently hangs in attach, and we'd want the watchdog to reset the system in that case. A few ideas from IRC discussion: - we could pat the watchdog once at attach time so that we don't reboot in cases where multiuser system startup takes a while after wbwd attaching - watchdog disabling could happen when the system enters single user mode - we ought to have a tunable or other configuration to control this, as some system vendors etc. may not want the watchdog disabled In any case I think it's probably better to have this change than not. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are the assignee for the bug. _______________________________________________ [email protected] mailing list https://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-bugs To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[email protected]"
