You may have a problem with your disk drive, controller card, cable, etc. Unfortunately, when your machine quits writing to the disk, there will be no log entries. You will only see the errors from the console. -- Jim Weeks On Wed, 2 May 2001, Jano Lukac wrote: > Hi, > > My freebsd 4.3-release (cvsupped to stable a few days ago) box stopped > responding to everything except ping yesterday.
