After hardbooting, filesystems need fscked This sounds like the fault might be related to the deadlock I reported in http://lists.FreeBSD.org/pipermail/freebsd-stable/2005-April/013839.html In my case, OO.org was definitely involved, and it appears to have become unkillable before /usr locked up. Two of the locks were: - A shared lock on /usr/local/OpenOffice.org1.1.4/program/libpsp645fi.so - /usr/local/OpenOffice.org1.1.4/program/pagein holding an exclusive lock on /usr/local/OpenOffice.org1.1.4/program and wanting an exclusive lock on /usr/local/OpenOffice.org1.1.4/program/libpsp645fi.so I have no idea what "pagein" is supposed to do but I can't see any good reason for it wanting to lock an OO.org shared library. I have the crashdump lying around in case anyone can suggest somewhere to look for the cause. -- Peter Jeremy
