Another "new" filesystem test program was posted to the freebsd-hackers mailing list. This one, fsstress, was originally developed by SGI <http://www.sgi.com/> for XFS <http://oss.sgi.com/projects/xfs/> . Andi Kleen later modified it to work with non-XFS filesystems, too. Most recently, Matt Dillon modified it to compile under FreeBSD. (I compiled it without problems under Linux.) Matt has already used this program to find/fix another bug. He says, " This one normally wouldn't occur too often. It happens when the filesystem syncing code is updating a VCHR vnode/inode. The vnode can get ripped out from under the ffs_update() code because the sync code doesn't lock or reference the vnode while running UFS_UPDATE() on it". _______________________________________________ OpenAFS-devel mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] https://lists.openafs.org/mailman/listinfo/openafs-devel
