Power cycled it(a warm boot did not fix it) and it was great. Here are two other questions, 1: I am getting these messages from the system : > de0: abnormal interrupt: transmit underflow (raising TX threshold to 96|256) > de0: abnormal interrupt: transmit underflow (raising TX threshold to 8|512) Is this some sort of TX queue, what exactly is the threshold, and should/can I set it manually, it comes up every time the machine reboots. 2: The sd1 stuff is very news, and I think it was a one time bad sector or something of the sort(If I am way off please let me know) But also the qmail-smtpd exited on sig11. I had asked this once before on the qmail mailing list and someone mentioned bad memory, and other thoughts? > pid 11451 (qmail-smtpd), uid 16465: exited on signal 11 > sd1(ahc0:2:0): SCB 0x3 - timed out while idle, LASTPHASE == 0x1, SCSISIGI == 0x0 > SEQADDR = 0x7 SCSISEQ = 0x12 SSTAT0 = 0x5 SSTAT1 = 0xa > sd1(ahc0:2:0): Queueing an Abort SCB > sd1(ahc0:2:0): Abort Message Sent > sd1(ahc0:2:0): SCB 3 - Abort Completed. > sd1(ahc0:2:0): no longer in timeout 3: I know on other Flavors of UNIX I have used, you would use ulimit to limit CPU/process Swam MEM/process... And I saw limit, but I can't seem to limit processes to X memory. I basically want to limit any process to 50MB in Swap. It is not a user's machine, but we sometimes have processes that just suddenly malloc mem and eat the swap file till the machine has 0MB swap and freezes. Any ideas?
