The machine did crash without running > it as well, but far more seldom. I've been experiencing the same problem as well. I discovered that the di= sk on which the filesystem was had some bad sectors causing dump -0Lauf t= o fail while taking snapshot causing the system to panic. Running smartct= l on the device indicated that there were bad sectors 40% within the surf= ace scan being performed by SMART. The drive, an 80 GB Maxtor, was replac= ed with a 250 GB Western Digital (for a very good price, so good a price = I purchased two of them). It was 906 days old, having only been powered o= ff maybe a dozen times over the last three years. --=20 Cheers, Cy Schubert FreeBSD UNIX: Web: http://www.FreeBSD.org e**(i*pi)+1=3D0
