    So far I haven't had any luck reproducing the blkfree panic.  I'm doing a
    parallel buildworld and vinum init in a loop.

I could not reproduce it either. I remembered something else:


Usually I did a
	sync
	mount -a -u -o ro

before fiddling with vinum, but /dev never re-mounted ro because of open files. The other file systems though did, but nevertheless showed inconsistencies in fsck -f afterwards. I don't know if this might be connected.

I did find at least one issue with the patch set... you have to use
getpbuf() rather then trypbuf(). You can't have temporary resource failures in the places where trypbuf() is being used. This is unrelated
to the bug, though.

I am not sure that I understand what you mean: The original (and now used) code checks the result of geteblk(), but this can't fail anyways. So I decided to go with trypbuf() instead of getpbuf() so that those functions (all called from ioctl) could fail and not block.


If you could get a crash dump of the blkfree panic onto leaf I'd like to take a look at it.

Will do, but it will take some time, as it is >200mb compressed.


cheers
