For some reason, this script:
#!/bin/sh
DEV=$(md_config -a -t malloc -s 500m)
newfs -i 512 -U /dev/$DEV
mount /dev/$DEV /mnt
cp -Rp /usr/src /mnt/
will kill my machine. I get zillions (well, hundreds at
least, without a serial console I can't count them)
of:
Dec 21 19:16:27 test kernel: g_vfs_done():md0[WRITE(offset=352649216,
length=16384)]error = 28
Dec 21 19:16:27 test kernel: g_vfs_done():md0[WRITE(offset=352665600,
length=12288)]error = 28
with varying offsets and lengths, but seemingly always error 28
The system does not panic orderly, but rather spontaneously reboots after
spewing a lot of the above error messages (5-20 secs worth).
This is on a Compaq Proliant ML370 with 1 GB RAM, dmesg below.
What do I need to fix to be able to use a RAM-backed filesystem?

FWIW, this script does not seem to freak out my machine, This led
me to consider inode starvation, but '-i 512' results in over 6
inodes for what I estimate to be 4 files in /usr/src.
#!/bin/sh
DEV=$(mdconfig -a -t malloc -s 500m)
newfs -i 512 -U /dev/$DEV
mount /dev/$DEV /mnt
dd if=/dev/zero of=/mnt/1M bs=1024 count=1024
for j in $(jot 450); do {
cp -p /mnt/1M /mnt/1M.$(printf %03d $j)
} done
After that, df -h /mnt shows:
/dev/md0 484M458M-13M 103%/mnt
Here's the dmesg:
