Description Jim.Pirzyk 1999-09-28 17:30:01 UTC
	The system would hang or panic after about 6 hours.  The system
	panic messages would say 'page fault while in kernel mode'

Here is what gdb says about one of the dumps:
	Fatal trap 12: page fault while in kernel mode
fault virtual address   = 0x0
fault code              = supervisor read, page not present
instruction pointer     = 0x8:0x0
stack pointer           = 0x10:0xc024ca78
frame pointer           = 0x10:0xc024cab4
code segment            = base rx0, limit 0xfffff, type 0x1b
                        = DPL 0, pres 1, def32 1, gran 1
processor eflags        = interrupt enabled, resume, IOPL = 0
current process         = Idle
interrupt mask          = bio 
trap number             = 12
panic: page fault

Fix: 

Do not use raid5 plex organization in vinum.
How-To-Repeat: 
	Do high volume filesystem accesses on the Raid 5 parition.

Submitter unable to reproduce the problem.  Problem 1 is almost certainly fixed, but problem 
2 is still at large.
