One of my machines has been crashing overnight every few days. It
seemed to be a hang; I finally realized that I should set ddb.onpanic
to 0, since I wouldn't see a panic message while I was in X. The
backtrace indicates that the problem is in the ntfs code; I have
/windows mounted read-only, so I suspect it's dying during the daily
job. Is anyone else seeing anything like that? I've built and booted
a debugging kernel so I can get better diagnostic info (and I'll sendpr
when I do), but I'm perplexed because I don't see this on any of my
other similarly-configured -current machines. (Btw, I don't know what
the panic is; gdb didn't display it, and I haven't had the chance to
figure out yet why not.)
