NTFS was working correctly in a kernel from sometime in August, it now fails
with an easily reproducable panic about locks.  Unfortunately, I never wrote
down the trace since I was planning on using gdb -k to debug it.. but:

dumping to dev ad0s4b, offset 584197

So, I guess I'll need to copy it down by hand next time I'm prepared to
crash my system.. (A simple cd /mnt/w2k/; ls; crashes the box.  Oddly
enough, it didn't seem to have the same effect in single-user mode, not sure
why...)

If you can try a kernel from JUST before the KSE integration..

that migh talso be a good test..

A kernel from cvs up -D2001-09-10 works perfectly,
A kernel from after the KSE milestone 2 produces various panics
like the following:

(find .; running on ntfs partition)
  |  (sleep; god knows where)
  |  (   it came from   )
  vv
panic: lockmgr: pid 30856, not exclusive lock holder 30814 unlocking.

backtrace:

panic
lockmgr
vop_stdunlock
ntfs_inactive
vput
lstat

Unfortunately, gdb -k kernel.X vmcore.X is still coring on startup, so I
can't get any more info, unless someone has something they want me to do at
the DDB prompt.

2001-09-17 Thread Julian Elischer

 
As many FreeBSD users know, a large set of changes was committed to
-current recently, as part of the development of real threading support.
Most parts of the kernel were changed to a greater or lesser extent.  
Some parts have not been able to be tested fully however.  If you have a
section of the kernel, that you use, but otherwise might not often test
(e.g. CODA or a special driver) it may be a good time to compile up a
-current kernel and see if it still works. There have been few problems
but it will be easier to catch these things right now than to try find 
problems further down the track.

If you find a module that worked in a kernel from before September 11
but does not work on -current, please let [EMAIL PROTECTED] know.
