Feldman" Mime-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii Date: Wed, 16 May 2001 07:50:40 -0400 Sender: owner-freebsd-current@FreeBSD.ORG Precedence: bulk X-Loop: FreeBSD.ORG Welp, this is the n-dozenth time that the ATA driver has wedged large parts of my entire system because it feels it needs to reset my CD-R when I'm trying to start burning a CD. I get the good old acd0: WRITE_BIG command timeout - resetting ata3: resetting devices .. and then, like always, tons of random applications lock up thereafter, including the burncd (stuck in physstr and cannot be killed, at all), Window Maker, my panel, etc. etc. etc. Oh, and the sleep(2)-related system calls don't sleep for the right time anymore; they just freeze. All sorts of stuff like this. Is there _any_ hope for not having such horrible behavior? Am I at the very least not the only person to have seen it? This is the _only_ problem I've had with -current lockups this entire year. -- Brian Fundakowski Feldman \ FreeBSD: The Power to Serve! / green@FreeBSD.org `------------------------------' To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-current" in the body of the message
