System stayed up 4 hours and didn't make it out of single user this evening. This time it didn't see the SCSI drive (the original problem was squarely tagged on the IDE drive.) Disks were spinning up and down even as I removed the case. Wiggled power connectors and eventually they stayed spinning but I didn't get a warm fuzzy feeling that I found the specific problem. Started a dump of my filesystems. Checked back 5 hours later and it was still OK. Wonderfull. I hate problems like this. Am pretty sure its not FreeBSD-current that is causing the problem. -- David Kelly N4HHE, dkelly@hiwaay.net ===================================================================== The human mind ordinarily operates at only ten percent of its capacity -- the rest is overhead for the operating system.
