Eg: #!/bin/csh while 1 vmstat -m | fgrep FFS | fgrep -v NFS sleep 60 end You should see something like: FFS node 10398 5199K 5199K 79618K 16183 0 0 512 FFS node 10398 5199K 5200K 79618K 16184 0 0 512 FFS node 10398 5199K 5200K 79618K 16184 0 0 512 <..> And see what it says at the point where you can not access your disks? I recently saw a lockup (on alpha) which sounds similar to yours, & the FFS node pool was exhausted.
