FYI... I think I've seen others report this on the list. I just
thought I'd add my report...
Running current supped Sept. 5th. Machine was running fine. I just
rebuilt the entire system and installed, so was going to reboot.
Typed "shutdown -r now". Waited... Came back a little later and
looked on the console and saw:
syncing disks... panic: vinvalbuf: dirty bufs
After doing a trace, it showed me:
Debugger
panic
vinvalbuf
spec_close
ffs_unmount
dounmount
vfs_unmountall
vfs_shutdown
boot
reboot
syscall
--- syscall (number 55) ---
This is a NICE Super-EISA, AMD 486DX2/80, 20MB RAM, 512k write-back
cache (yes it works correctly), BusLogic BT747s EISA SCSI controller,
two Quantum SCSI drives, a cheap IDE controller with a backup root on
the IDE drive (wasn't being used), etc....
Is this a known problem? Should I send-pr this?
