A concern that FreeBSD tends to "bind" for brief periods when > loaded... Can this is an IDE issue? I never saw anything like this until I configured an IDE mail server. That system pauses for seconds sometimes, and then continues. This is running -stable, syscons only (no X), no messages logged, etc. The echo stops going to the display, the ethernet activity is stopped, all in all it seems to be locked up for three or four seconds. We have three SCSI only systems and haven't ever seen this, and one IDE system that pauses. -- Peter Dufault Real Time Machine Control and Simulation HD Associates, Inc.
