This is with -current CVSupped around 20:50 PDT on June 27 (full make world plus kernel build). The problem shows up when I try to build the modula-3-lib port on a filesystem that is NFS-mounted from another system. The NFS server is running 2.2-stable. At some point in the build, the "quake" program (M3's answer to "make", *sigh*) hangs in disk wait state. It is unkillable after that -- the only way to get rid of it is by rebooting. Other processes continue to work OK. Interestingly, I tried it twice and it hung at the same point both times. Each test takes a long time, so I only have those two data points so far. I built the same port on a local filesystem without any problems. Does this ring a bell for anybody? I haven't tried building this port via NFS for quite a while, so the problem is not necessarily very new. John -- John Polstra jdp@polstra.com John D. Polstra & Co., Inc.
