I have a FreeBSD 8.2-STABLE/amd64 server at my lab, no problems. My workstation, my laptop and my box at home are all FreeBSD 9.0-CURRENT/amd64, recent system (r224803) and they have all without exception this problem. > >> I'll force a fsck as soon as possible.

This hardware issue must have occured on three different systems the same time. An unlikely coincidence. I did a complete fsck. No problems with the filesystem. But the problem remains. Again, I'll delete /var/db/portsnap and if it doesn't help, I'll also delete /usr/ports ... Oliver
