I was experimeting some lockups of make, ps (generally when I try to find why the make is stopped) and even sync. The rest of the system will keep on running and lock after. I was unable to launch two compiles at the same time, at the end both ended up locked (one in /usr/src/sbin and the other in /usr/src/libexec for example). I've rebuilt a kernel with DDB and after a thought with PROCFS "static". Now I'm able to run two or three big compiles, playing Xboing at the same time and such. Any ideas ? Kernel from just today locked too... I'm running fine now but I'd like to understand. -- Ollivier ROBERT -=- The daemon is FREE! -=- roberto@FreeBSD.ORG FreeBSD keltia 2.1.0-Development #1: Mon Mar 6 23:55:18 MET 1995
