Hi, my fileserver (running Current as of yesterday), is showing weird
things, not sure if it's a problem with current or something bad in my
fs. anyway: with intensive jobs like tar -cf - /, after a
non-deterministic amount of time the process will hang, top showing that
it is in the 'inode' blocked queue. Then other processes will start
hanging too, making the machine useless. Weird thing: it will go on
playing NFS-server without problems. Just starting new programs is
impossible, ctrl-alt-del won't work, etc...

config: single processor machine, using soft updates, used to run
smoothly for weeks, now hangs on most really big disk jobs. Strange
enough it seems to survive a make world.

Does it ring a bel to anyone?
