We've been having regular (every 2-3 days) crashes on our vax 11/780 running 4.2, caused by 'panic: ifree: freeing free inode'. Has anyone else seen (and more importantly, fixed) this problem? Thanks for your help. Tim Seaver Computer Science Dept. University of North Carolina decvax!mcnc!unc!tas tas%unc@csnet-relay

From: Michael_OBrien <obrien@rand-unix> We have seen this exactly once, with one user and one daemon running on the system, the second day 4.2BSD was up. It worried us a lot but it's never happened again. The user and the daemon were removing the same file at the same time. Something obviously got very confused. It is possible that one of the several hundred bug fixes which have moved over the networks since then may fix this problem, but I haven't sorted through them all yet.
