Hello, We have a problem with some 3.0 release boxes. One just went down two days ago. When it came back up, it hangs on syncing disks. I had a tech (it's in a remote location) boot into single user mode, and fsck the disks. This went fine, but when he exited from single user mode, it again hangs on syncing disks. This is a brand new machine, worked great for about 6 weeks - and this is the second machine to do this since the first of the year. The other time I had the hard drive shipped to me and I rebuilt it. I would like to avoid that this time. Anyway, here are the machines specs in case that would be of any use: Abit BX6 MB with PII 400 (not overclocked). Bus is at 100MHz. 384mb ecc sdram adaptec 2940U2W scsi ibm 9g u2 scsi drive. intel etherexpress pro 100+ generic agp video card (stb I think). No cdrom's attached. It's running freebsd 3.0 release, apache 1.3.3, moderately loaded system average of 400 processes running at any one time. Heavy use of perl and mysql. The load averages weren't bad though, usually less than 0.5, and on average it was 80-90% idle (from top). The other machine that went was identical except the drive/controller were just wide scsi. Can anyone help? Thanks. -Ted To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-current" in the body of the message
