After a few days I upgraded a production-webserver to 7.1 on Jan. 8'th and it has been running without any problems. The webserver is not heavily loaded (load at 2-3 on average). I have made a buildworld -j 8 and it runs fine. If the reported lockup is due to i/o a buildworld will not be able to reproduce it. It has performed a buildworld without problems and I'll be doing some buildworlds throughout the day. This is on a HP c-class-blade with 8 GB ram, 2 x quad-core and the build-in p200-controller with 64 MB ram. -- regards Claus When lenity and cruelty play for a kingdom, the gentler gamester is the soonest winner.
