I've been running with -current (and : later the 2.2 branch after the branch was made) on my news server for : several months with no kernel problems (just drives dying). Your drives die also? I was running 2.1.5-Rel and then upgraded this past week to 2.2.1. In both releases, Drives would die like crazy, ranging fron SCSI buss errors that reboot the system or media errrors on the drives themselves. I have checked and double checked termination, et all... Is this FreeBSD or just bad luck with drives? Oh, BTW, mmap() in 2.2.1 is _excellent_ -Dale G.
