Well, the main difference between my home dual G4 and work dual G5 
would be AFS on the G5. I've never seen a panic on the G4, but since 15 
Dec I've had 13 kernel panics on the G5:

[lusol@Dragonfly:/Library/Logs] grep '\*\*\*\*\*' panic.log |wc
       13      13     130

Nine of which have been "vnreclaim":

[lusol@Dragonfly:/Library/Logs] grep vnreclaim panic.log |wc
        9      36     324

Two highlight afsd:

[lusol@Dragonfly:/Library/Logs] grep afs panic.log
panic(cpu 0): Increase -stat parameter of afsd(VLRU cycle?)
          org.openafs.filesystems.afs(1.2.10)@0x29f57000
panic(cpu 0): Increase -stat parameter of afsd(VLRU cycle?)
          org.openafs.filesystems.afs(1.2.10)@0x28ecb000

In the above, I was copying/duplicating large amounts of AFS data 
(Matlab). As a result I created an afsd.options file patterned after 
the OpenAFS startup script:

[lusol@Dragonfly:/Library/Logs] cat 
/var/db/openafs/etc/config/afsd.options
-stat 2800 -dcache 2400 -daemons 5 -volumes 128 -fakestat

But what do I know.

Thanks,
Steve
