Your dcache verify patch continues to catch cases where the dcache gets corrupted. I had two cases where it caught it over the weekend.
The first one is hard to pin down. My wife was running quicken in wabi over an xsession and I was just messing around with files in the kernel source directory. There was so much going on with this one I don't think it yields very clean information. However, the second one happened when the system was almost idle unfortunately. I was in kfm and I requested a page from the web and it couldn't deal with it. So I brought netscape up and looked at the page. It was swapped out and right after that is when I saw that the dcache was corrupted.
I will continue to monitor the situation to see if I can catch a more clean example of when the dcache gets corrupted. The problem is that it only seems to happen when I am activly working with the computer and the kinds of things that I do with my computer are kind of random.
BTW could you please mail me the patch again. I accidently lost the original file and I would like to move to 2.1.77.
Thanks again, ben
