I had originally enabled gjournal and seemed to have no problems but I
was seeing errors in messages regarding dma write failures and after
some research concluded I had setup gjournal incorrectly.
I setup the gjournal again properly with soft updates disabled and
doing a fresh newfs, mount showed it as enabled and I had the .journal
mounted.
Started copying files to it from another partition as I wanted to set
that up on gjournal also and the copying I felt would be a good stress
test to see if the errors stop, the errors were gone and I felt great
but as it was about 80 gig of data to copy I went away to do something
else for a bit.
Came back to see box had rebooted itself from a journal related panic.
panic: Journal overflow (joffset=499054080000 active=499691355136 inactive=4990$
cpuid = 0
7.0-RC1
Fair to say this is not as stable as ufs + soft updates then? googling
did show other occurances of problem or is there a patch/workaround
for the issue? disks are both 500 gig each.
