Re: snapshots

Another data point for those interested...

I have a 1.4G AMD T-Bird with an Adaptec 39160 (stand-alone card...not 
embedded) and a pair of 18G Seagate X15's (one on each channel).  I 
cvs'd  and compiled -current on 2/27/02.

I've had sporadic crashes in the past (with 3.0-RELEASE) that always 
seem to trace back to controller problems.  I'm not going to claim any 
serious amount of testing, but I copied the src tree from disk to disk 
several times and had no issues, and usually such a series of tests 
would have caused the machine to crash.
