I tried that, but probably not at the appropriate time. I'd likely done the "dd if=/dev/zero..." already. I was annoyed and got out the big hammer. So by the time I tried it, it didn't matter. Also it was a FreeBSD "zroot" label. After I play with the AHCI stuff I may repeat the situation. Hav

Toomas, Thank you again. Very helpful. The Z400 will only support IDE mode. ACHI+RAID is the other option which I think only works with Windows. I know it will not work with Solaris and feel fairly certain it doesn't work with Linux or *BSD either. As pstack is not familiar to me I didn't int

You're reading too much into that stack trace. Threads 2 and 3 both were created by library calls, probably to look up some relevant information or to be notified of device related events. So no, nobody rewrote a utility that doesn't need threads to use them anyway. > On Mar 1, 2021, at 19:45,

In light of the use cases for format(1m) I find it difficult to imagine why it would need to communicate with anything else other than to assert a mutex to prevent other processes from doing something stupid while it ran. I have the most recent monographs on FreeBSD, Solaris Internals and ZFS

It is with deep regret that I say this. I shall not be working on Illumos/OI. Below is the terminal output using the Hipster 2020.10 GUI install disk. I've always been amused by the enthusiasm for threads. I bought John Lakos' book when it came out and unlike most actually read much of it. I

I'll try pstack core. It's not something I'm familiar with. I'm used to using the regular debuggers, but maybe it will work when dbx won't and gdb isn't available. There is the minor issue of cooperation from the developers. I got *none* when I set up to fix things previously. Not so much as
