(sorry for cross-mailing too). Ok, updated to latest 4.5-STABLE cvsup last Friday afternoon (GMT +0100 about 15:00). Made a buildworld and a new kernel and installed both, ran mergemaster, rebooted started vlan, rebooted and worked on that system for 48 hours building programs, making patches, compiling applications, .... On sunday afternoon I just rebooted to make sure the system will come up cleanly. It came up - no errors anyway BUT since then I am not able to do a 'vi /var/log/messages' via either ssh or telnet. I am not able to run a cvsup to get the latest sources, xbuffy no longer comes up and my ssh session seems to "hang". "Hanging" is not a problem of the network in this case but the screen just does not get updated. I still can see network traffic via ssh running tcpdump. While watching p.ex. the hanging vi /var/log/messages at the maschine via screen and keyboard (where no problems can be seen) I recognized that I also was able to close that hanging vi with :q! not seeing what I was doing. Really strange ? uucp is still working - even over an ssh port forwarding. postfix delivering mails fine via procmail. Mysql seems ok and apache too but the squid refuses to answer anything. Well apache is not really ok but only when it has to handle a short file. Large files never get transmitted in total but get stuck. I still can do ftp from and to the maschine via full 100 Mbit/s with the other hosts from that I am not able to work with ssh on the machine. For anybbody who still thinks it might be a network problem I also need to say that I already changed the NIC from 3com to Intel. At the monent I did a telnet host, ps ax, cd / and the ls -l just hang. Nothing more. One bit that I could reproduce is: telnet host cd /usr/src/RELENG_4/LOGS ls -l tried the same but only `ls` (no -l) afterwards and this is ok for many times - tried about 20. Working on the local console is - as said above - doing the same things that otherwise fail is ok and no errors occure but it's a bit cold there ;-) If this wouldn't ne the case I might have tought about fs corruption or s.th. like this. What should I do ? I made a makeworld and build the kernel again, rebootet and still those "hangs" :(( Last build before that last friday must have been buildworld-20020113-2008.log. Anybody any ideas ? Questions if you no need detailed input on anything: I should have full build- and install logs... I am going to provide you almost everything you ask for if it'll help to solve this. Thanks in advance -- Bjoern A.
