Panic: vrele: negative ref cnt
I received a panic message (see Subject) yesterday following a GNOME upgrade. The upgrade was successful but I encountered subsequent problems trying to access Firefox websites and my mail site in Thunderbird. I noticed a Plugin error message in Firefox and prepared to paste it into a message to the mailing list but was unable to get a connection and eventually lost it. I reset my modem several times then decided to reboot. First, I re-enabled my firewall then entered shutdown -r now. Next I received the panic message and a repeat of the following: READ_DMA ad0:Timeout - Read_DMA retrying (2 retries left) LBA = 28162271 READ_DMA ad0: FAILURE -READ_DMA status=51 READY, DSC, ERROR error = 40 Uncorrectable LBA =28162271 Unfortunately, this may not have been exactly how the message read. I was sort of in a panic state myself. Another message indicated there was no request/requirement to dump. I run FreeBSD 5.4 RELEASE. Your advice is appreciated.

This may have caused the panic as a secondary effect after the read failed. Thanks for taking the time to respond. Not good news obviously, but could be worse. This is my mule machine. I was using it as a gateway, to develop some networking skills, and had installed SAMBA and was also trying to install HylaFAX . Fortunately it has a second hard drive which currently holds the /var slice. Out with the bad and in with the good. BTW, can the data on this drive be copied to the surviving drive? What commands do I need to review? My initial thoughts were to simply install 6.0 and go on from there. Any hints/suggestions are appreciated.

Kris Thank for your advice. I will try updating, but I think that the problem is with the hard disk. It occurs only when device of file system which is being unmounted has read errors. What else should I do except from changing the faulty disk? Nothing...when your hardware goes bad, all bets are off. Replace it immediately before it dies completely and you lose your data.
