Not that this will help Warner's situation, but I like to add a 'sync' or two after doing some longer operation. The trick is to pick the best times to do that. For a portupgrade, it might be a good idea to add a 'sync' right after doing each package- register step. That should not slow things down much, and it's a good time to try and force disk-I/O out to the disk. -- Garance Alistair Drosehn = drosehn@rpi.edu Senior Systems Programmer or gad@FreeBSD.org Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute; Troy, NY; USA
