One of the things I do with my -current boxes is I run a local rsync to make a backup of the system drive whenever I feel like the thing is stable enough to have a backup made :-) The rsync is fairly intensive I/O wise and memory wise. I see the following behaviors with -current * rsync runs to completion and hangs at the very end, can be interrupted - my guess is trying to free memory * rsync pauses periodically, usually for 30 seconds, and then continues during this pause the system is wedged, no mouse movement etc - my guess is trying to do some garbage collection to get more memory :-) * the server crashes and restarts When I'm not running the rsync its rare to see this trouble. Could we have a bug where freed pages aren't getting freed right?
