Moving to fm-discuss. Short answer is we'd need to see the fmd process core to be able to tell you what's going on. You mention you're running build 101b, which is fairly old, so there's a reasonable chance that you're hitting a bug that's been fixed in a later build.
Can you send us the output of the following command?: % pstack <path to fmd core file> (by default fmd drops its cores in /var/fm/fmd/) rob Erich Weiler wrote: > Hey ya'll, > > Was hoping someone could shed some light on this...
