At work I've watched some of our BSD/OS 4.0.1 servers go down hard while qmail had its queue totaly backed up. And when the ufs (running softupdates) 500MB /var got to fsck'ing it could take over 8 hours. (and yes, we know something was not right there, the problem has since been solved for the most part) Not fun. -- --Travis To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-stable" in the body of the message
