Unfortunately, I'm seeing the problem more on machines using
RAIDframe, not on machines using softdeps. So this patch probably
wouldn't do much good for me.. :(
Of course, I tried to reproduce the problem last night on a couple of
test boxes (stressing RAIDframe on one and softdeps on the other),
and couldn't get anything to crash at all :( I couldn't even get a
base-case established for the problem.. :(
Glad to hear this patch works for you -- I think I'll just have to
find more time to fix the issues in RAIDframe..
Later...
