I am uncertain of when this problem began, but this worked a month ago. The backup seems to run for at least ten minutes, but the system seems to hang after a period of time. Keyboard input appears on the screen, but control-C has no effect. Control-Alt-Delete has no effect either, and my only option is to press the reset button or power down the machine. No services are active when the system is in this state (i.e., I cannot make a remote connection to the machine). I am running 4.3-STABLE that was built after a cvsup of RELENG_4 as of yesterday. I am using the following syntax: tar --create --totals --absolute-paths --file /dev/rsa0 / My hardware is a Seagate Scorpion STD2401LW. This is a DDS4 DAT drive. Is anyone else experiencing a similar problem? Thanks. To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-stable" in the body of the message
