We have a machine running FreeBSD 2.2.1 used as a NFS server. When the box is under heavy load it frequently refuses to spawn any new processes (ie. cannot start any new xterms, login processes, etc). The only solution thus far has been to reboot the machine. Anyone have any ideas about what might be going on here? Machine specifics: ASUS T2P4 motherboard P90 w/256 cache 32MB Adaptec 2940UW 2GB SCSI Quantum Viking 1.6GB IDE Western Digital ATI Mach 64 2 3C509B combo cards I have heard that some people have had problems with the 3COM cards under 2.1.5 (even the config files said the driver was buggy but in 2.2.1 they don't) and I would be interested in hearing people's views on this. Thanks in advance Michael Burgener Network Administrator Brooks Automation Canada michael_burgener@brookscanada.com
