Managers,

    We had 89 of the following errors in a 3 day period:

            vmunix: msfs_bread: msfs_getpage returned error 5

Then we got this error:

            vmunix: trap: invalid memory write access from kernel mode
            vmunix:
            vmunix: faulting virtual address: 0x0000000000000020
            vmunix: pc of faulting instruction: 0xfffffc00004ffcf4
            vmunix: ra contents at time of fault: 0xfffffc00004ffccc
            vmunix: sp contents at time of fault: 0xffffffffa04038b8
            vmunix:
            vmunix: panic (cpu 0): kernel memory fault

And of course the system rebooted itself.

I have been told msfs was the early name for AdvFS, although I wasn't in
this particular flavor of UNIX then, and I know that bread is a block read,
not a sandwich component. Other than that I'm not sure how to interpret the
first error, but since it stopped after the panic and reboot, I'm curious.
Are the two related? Did the bread cause the panic? What was causing the
bread?

UNIX is very user friendly, It's just very particular about who it makes
friends with.
