>Originator:     Kevin Martin
>Release:        FreeBSD 3.1-STABLE i386
>Organization:
pair Networks, Inc
>Environment:

	Xeon 500 Mhz, 512Mb RAM, Adaptec Ultra2 SCSI with two Ultra2 drives.

>Description:

	Once or twice a day, under light load (avg under 0.30), the server
	will freeze up and no longer be able to start new processes or
	continue doing any useful work.  If "top" happens to be left
	running, it will always show "inode" as the status for all processes.

>How-To-Repeat:

	Leave server running, wait.

>Fix:
	
	Unknown.  This is impacting a major commerce server after it was
	upgraded from 2.1.7 to 3.1-STABLE.  We will probably have to fall
	back to 2.2.8 :(
