My system is: 486 (100 Mhz) 12 Megs RAM 540 Megs (split between FreeBSD & DOS) 130 Megs (split between FreeBSD & DOS) FreeBSD (snap release) Virtual memory is on the 130 Meg drive (32 Meg Swap File) And is this normal:? I'm receiving a file via ftp to the 130 Meg Drive (MSDOS partition). At the same time, I do a copying job to the 130 Meg Drive DOS partition from the 540 , i.e. cp file /msdosd/. Now everything seems to be okay at this point, but if I open an xterm and cd to the DOS partition of the 130 Meg Drive and do a ls, the whole system hangs. Although I can move the mouse around and try to open another xterm with fvwm, no xterms ever get opened. I can't kill any jobs either. The access lights on both hard disks are off. Any ideas? Is FreeBSD supposed to support some kind of an unlimited simultaneous disk access?
