It is stuck in an uninterruptable state waiting on disk I/O so it doesn't even see/get this signal. When this has happened before a 'kill -INT 1' won't even get the box to reboot. The only way I could clear things up was to cycle power on the box. With the box being 2 hours from here it makes cycling power something I'd rather reserve as my very last alternative. -Steve To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
