Out of morbid curiosity, which is bug 1549? I have had to run wack in recent memory, and it was a...sobering experience.
Bug ID: 1549 Product: Data ONTAP
Title: System crashes with the "write_alloc.c:xxx: Assertion failure" message.
Problem: When the filer removes a file, it tries to resize the filer's inode and free a block associated with the inode. However, when the filer is verifying whether the block to be freed is part of the active file system, if the block is already free, the filer crashes.
Workaround: Run the wack utility on the filer. For more information about wack, contact Network Appliance Technical Support.
Solution or Fix: Release: -
From what I've heard, 'wack' and 'fastwack' arent always the cure-all. Kind of dissapointing to see happen after a 20-hour wack run.
