I merely offered it as a possible explanation to your problem until you gave us more info. I'd be a bit concerned about those voltages too, but hey, that's me. The 5 minute thing seems strange as well, is it always 5 minutes? I've never ran softupdates, could that be it? > > --David Bushong > FreeBSD freebsd@gtonet.net "LinSUX is only free if your time is worthless" To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-stable" in the body of the message
