I have been experencing some filesystem problems for the last month or so. I was running 4.8-STABLE and updated to 5.1-RELEASE-p2. While I was running 4.8 and I tried to run a command that required hard disk activity, the process would 'hang' and I would no longer be able to ssh or telnet in. I would get stuck after typing in my login. Running 5.1 is a different story. I did a clean install of 5.1-RELEASE and cvsup'd to -p2. Every time I do this, it's great for a day or so then it acts up. Before after it started, even if I rebooted it would immediately start up. On 5.1, it is only hanging for that process and everything else is fine. I can still login, webserver responds, etc. Here is a little info: FreeBSD devel.neoninternet.net 5.1-RELEASE-p2 FreeBSD 5.1-RELEASE-p2 #0: Sat Aug 23 20:12:41 PDT 2003 kevin@devel.ph.cox.net:/usr/src/sys/i386/compile/SLURPEE i386 CPU: AMD Athlon(tm) XP 2600+ (2086.51-MHz 686-class CPU) real memory = 1073676288 (1023 MB) ad0: 117246MB [238216/16/63] at ata0-master UDMA133 root 1173 0.0 0.1 1436 916 p3 D+ 6:38PM 0:00.00 man vmstat root 784 0.0 0.1 752 636 d0 D 4:34PM 0:00.02 make all DIRPRFX=i386/libi386/ root 847 0.0 0.0 312 212 d0 D 4:34PM 0:00.00 (cc) root 848 0.0 0.3 4104 3488 d0 D 4:34PM 0:00.01 (cc1) root 849 0.0 0.1 928 668 d0 D 4:34PM 0:00.00 /usr/bin/as -o comconsole.o - last pid: 1252; load averages: 0.00, 0.00, 0.00 up 0+02:37:22 19:04:48 64 processes: 1 running, 63 sleeping CPU states: 0.0% user, 0.0% nice, 0.0% system, 0.0% interrupt, 100% idle Mem: 34M Active, 23M Inact, 38M Wired, 204K Cache, 22M Buf, 906M Free Swap: 2048M Total, 2048M Free devel# vmstat procs memory page disks faults cpu r b w avm fre flt re pi po fr sr ad0 da0 in sy cs us sy id 1 7 0 144612 928056 16 0 0 0 9 0 0 0 331 0 254 0 0 100 Anyone have any suggestions? I can not control-C out of 'man vmstat'. While doing 'make' in /usr/src/sys/boot it was hanging on as, when I restarted it, it got to i386/libi386 and will not do anything else. I'm running that through serial console, it let me ^C out of that. I tried going into single user mode and running umount, now it just sits there and I can't ^C. I have no ideas, this was all working yesterday!! :-) Any ideas on what else to check or other helpful hints would help bunches. Sorry for the cross-posts. Just not sure where to go with this one.
