Crash under disk writes (vinum?)
Hi, I'm running 5.1-RELEASE (latest patch version) on a machine with a couple of disks set up in a concatenated vinum-type config. Periodically if I do some ``heavy'' writes to the concatenated disk it causes the system to panic and reboot. I'm not sure it's because of vinum, but my guess is that it is -- on the same two disks is a mirrored volume which has no write problems. My questions are first) has anybody else heard of this? Any solutions or ideas? and secondly) how can I effectively go about debugging this? This is a headless machine and it reboots often before I realise, so I can't see the diagnostic messages. With some debugging symbols in the kernel can I provide useful stuff for somebody to look at? Will my vinum config be useful for helping resolve this issue?
