FYI - I'm not on freebsd-fs, so include me if you want me to see a response. We're seeing similar (identical?) behaviour out of 5.4R. We hadn't been able to nail down what the catalyst was, only that after we upgraded to 5 (from 4.10) and started using snapshots we started to see weird, but consistant hangs - weird because on the console virtual terminals could be switched between, the keyboard lights responded to modifier keys as one would expect, and network ports could be connected to, but in every other way the machine seemed to be dead, non-reactive, and non-responsive. I would be happy to provide any other information I can to help. On Tue, 24 Jan 2006, John Kozubik wrote: > > freebsd-fs, > > I submitted this PR today.
