It was installing world (with -j 3) from nfs mounted /usr/obj and /usr/src (mounted ro). It did not hang but rebooted (no backtraces, the kernel is built with -fomit-frame-pointer). I restarted the installworld and it completed fine, I guess, it did not have to reinstall libc.so.3 the second time, because of ``install -C''. This was not current either -- going from a 2 weeks old -stable to the most recent -stable. -mi To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-current" in the body of the message
