Hi,
FreeBSD ayiin.octantis.com.au 7.1-PRERELEASE FreeBSD 7.1-PRERELEASE #94: Wed

I've noticed when /usr becomes full (due to a large port build or other
reasons) that my computer becomes completely locked up - frozen. There is no
panic or crash, the system starts becoming more and pegged down - load starts
to climb, then system blocks intermittently for ever longing periods, load
climbs over 30.... and it never comes back from locked-land.
Other than "don't let the system run out of disk space", is there any other fix?
FWIW,i have 3 GELI md-backed volumes located + mounted in /usr/home/betom/ .
