It just sits there, initiating another SSH just sits there as well, it doesn't time out or anything. I'll compile a debug kernel tonight, and I'll put in the other disk that "should" lock up, tomorrow and copy a few gigs across. The first time it locked up was when i was copying cp -va from one disk (degraded mirrror) to the other disk (degraded mirror + gjournal). Copied around 40GB until it locked up. It did it 3 times before i manage to copy everything over. Re-syncing of the mirror works fine. Should i use options KDB options DDB options INVARIANTS options INVARIANTS_SUPPORT options WITNESS options DIAGNOSTIC ? Regards David N
