Just had a nice juicy kernel panic while editing with TextMate. Haven't seen one of these in years!
Was that while saving a file over a network mounted drive?
My home directory including most files I work on (including the one before the panic) are NFS mounted from a FreeBSD box.
When I started to use setxattr() for metadata I got a lot of reports of kernel panics when saving to AFP mnted volumes -- turns out the fs driver is buggy. I introduced a workaround for that, but since then I've had two reports of kernel panics from setxattr(), so it seems my workaround wasn't a complete fix.
To disable the use of setxattr() execute (while TM is not running):
defaults write com.macromates.textmate OakDocumentDisableFSMetaData -bool true
I'll look into having TM disable metadata automatically only for drives that look like network mounts.
Should it panic again I'll try that. Worked all day today with TM and no problems other than occasional slow-down in performance.
