Payment + FreeBSD Donation offered in return for fast vn fix
There has been some talk lately of a very old (I have seen it since 4.4-RELEASE) and insidious bug that causes FreeBSD systems with lots of vn-backed filesystems to crash/halt when large/long file accesses inside those vn-backed filesystems are performed. This has become a serious problem for me in the past few weeks, and I need a solution for it. I am offering a modest cash payment (via paypal) up front, plus an ongoing donation to the FreeBSD project over the next few months in return for speedy (1-2 weeks) development of a solution. This assumes that, since the actual problem has long since been identified, that this will not be a large job. It also assumes that this has not coincidentally been fixed in the last two weeks. Please contact me off-list. Thanks, John
