I do not. :-) But I had a reproducible crash that would trigger quite easily (within seconds, most of the time) when trying to write concurrently to an LMDB database. However, having seen your reply I went deeper to find out how this could be. It turns out that LMDB does not work correctly on the AUFS filesystem. Is this known?

My AUFS version is not the latest, so it's possible it has already been fixed upstream. Unless you know the state of this already, I'll try to find out more. Regards Kristian Amlie CFEngine
