This would explain why more people are not having the same } problem. } } Is anyone having these deadlocks not running MFS? Our news server wedged a couple days ago after running for a couple weeks. The code dated from about May 1, which was before the latest fix (attempt?). We are not using MFS on that machine. In our case, it was not a total lockup. There were three processes stuck in the inode state (syncer, innd, and *grep*). Before the May 1 software upgrade, we were running an old version of 3.0 from late last year. It was completely stable and had months of uptime. In addition to upgrading to more current code, we also started using vinum.
