Greg, 

Thanks for following up.  I realise my original post was rather scanty on 
detail, but I was just wondering about the specific combination of 
vinum/softupdates.  Since you indicate that this combination should not be a 
problem in itself, I will need to dig deeper. 

Unfortunately I have only heard about the problems on these servers after 
the fact.  I will need to rebuild their kernels with debugging, etc, as I 
did on my own box previously, and then wait for another crash and see what 
gdbmods reveals. 

I'll be in touch when I have something more useful in the way of clues. 

Regards,
Patrick.

 Hi folks.

 I have a few boxes which have recently begun to behave rather badly -
 frequent panics and lots of errors being spewed out during fsck on reboot.
 I note that these particular boxes have one thing in common - they have
 vinum devices which are also mounted with softupdates enabled.

 Is this OK? 

Well, panics are not OK.

 I have not been able to find any mention of softupdates in the vinum
 man pages.

That's because there's nothing to say about them.

What was the cause of the panic?

Greg
