I didn't care for the hanging umount, and proceeded using the machine. Hours later, suddenly a bunch of processes started to stall, and i couldn't even reboot the machine cleanly from within DDB. (It finally triple faulted, which was less work than hitting the reset button. :-) I noticed that umount hung in `vgone', maybe one or two other processes, too. The remaining hanging processes were at `ufslk2'. -- cheers, J"org joerg_wunsch@uriah.heep.sax.de -- http://www.sax.de/~joerg/ -- NIC: JW11-RIPE Never trust an operating system you don't have sources for. ;-)
