Hello Sym

I don't think I am seeing that on 9.2-RELEASE on the sparc64..


root@bulldog:~# top -S -m io

last pid:  4305;  load averages:  0.83,  0.32,  0.15    up 0+00:18:02  22:35:28

gstat showing my disk at 2-3% busy... then 100% for a few seconds, then
back to 2-3%... 

The portsnap extract appears to be operating normally for a 500Mhz
UltraSparc IIe.

Kind Regards
