Getting more and more tired of FreeBSD's crashes, just curious if anyone is currently playing around with the unionfs code in DFly?

Shortcomings. ACK. 'Direction', certainly.


But 'crashes'?

Not generally a problem with 4.X

4:49PM up 477 days, 14:39,

What exactly are you doing with yours? :) When is the last time you tried to create a FIFO on a UNION mounted file system? How about the vnode leak that nobody seems to want to acknowledge exists, but which forces me to reboot one of my servers every few weeks:


May 14 18:35:02 venus root: debug.numvnodes: 472900 - debug.freevnodes: 52453 - debug.vnlru_nowhere: 10 - vlruwt

I'd move to 5.x, but apparently the 'shortcomings' become 'major mine field' :(
