I finally crahsed it! From: "Richard E. Hawkins" Date: Fri, 02 Aug 2002 17:19:49 -0400 Sender: owner-freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.ORG Precedence: bulk List-ID: List-Archive: (Web Archive) List-Help: (List Instructions) List-Subscribe: List-Unsubscribe: X-Loop: FreeBSD.ORG After something like five years of nearly fulltime use, I finally crashed FreeBSD . . . I've had the explainable ones before from overloading the VM by loading files larger than virtual memory into a binary editor, hand fork-bombing on images in netscape, and so forth, but this one just caught me off guard. I suppose that I should report ithappening somewhere . . . I had a buildworld running, I had a pair of scp processes on the new machine copying /usr/src and /usr/ports over. Noticing a huge quantity of files being tranfered (presumably a work directory), I rm -rf'd /usr/ports/*/*/work I suppose they collided . . . THe machine froze up, and rebooted after a minute or two. hawk -- To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
