The thing that hang's is disk i/o. The system continues to work correctly but does not repond to any form of i/o. Therefore, logins, top, kill, incoming mail, whatever requires disk i/o doesn't work. I left the system in this state for 15 minutes, but no error messages, nor kernel panic. The disk drive light was OFF. The only thing that helps is the reset button. Is there something in some sort of infinite loop here? This is an SMP system with the ATA driver and with Kirk's latest softupdates changes included. See my previous mail for more uname -a. Regards, Dave Boers. P.S. I have to go now, but I will try if I can compile a kernel with debugging in it and see if I can make a backtrace (would be my first one ever) this evening. -- djb@relativity.student.utwente.nl To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-current" in the body of the message
