Hi,

I'm experiencing strange hangs with a heavily used 2.0.5 machine.
The symptom is dat during a run of /etc/daily, the system gets
slower and slower and then sometimes reboots, sometimes hangs.
We also saw panics, (free vnode isn't).
I lately did a large find on a 2.0 machine and it rebooted. Because
/etc/daily also contains a few large finds, I am suspecting the
FS layer. Is anything known about a problem in there causing such
behaviour?
