After something like five years of nearly fulltime use, I finally crashed FreeBSD . . . I've had the explainable ones before from overloading the VM by loading files larger than virtual memory into a binary editor, hand fork-bombing on images in netscape, and so forth, but this one just caught me off guard. I suppose that I should report ithappening somewhere . . . I had a buildworld running, I had a pair of scp processes on the new machine copying /usr/src and /usr/ports over. Noticing a huge quantity of files being tranfered (presumably a work directory), I rm -rf'd /usr/ports/*/*/work I suppose they collided . . . THe machine froze up, and rebooted after a minute or two. hawk -- To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
