I had tcpdump running, dumping to a file on its very own seperate slice. It apparently filled up the slice, and that slowly brought the machine down until it rebooted itself...WHY? I mean, I know it was a stupid thing to let happen, but why didn't tcpdump just quit, and how did it start bringing down other things?
