When the system locks up, everything is dead. As I said, I've put 2.0.5-RELEASE on with a kernel to handle a larger number of open files and mbuf clusters. The one major thing that is missing is the pcvt driver. Unfortunately, I can't rule out NFS because our anonymous FTP archive sits on a BSD/OS drive (which I don't think FreeBSD will recognize) and user home directories are mounted from another central server. I could probably move ftp.io.org over to another machine for a week (if 2.0.5R crashes in the next couple of days) and see what effect that has. -- Brian Tao (BT300, taob@io.org) Systems Administrator, Internex Online Inc.
