I came across this problem too with recent stable but I would guess it's older. Some operations with quotas made syncer kernel subprocess to hang in ckqt2 (as found by ps efl - maybe a bit different function, sorry I don't remember). Any process which tries to access disk get stuck in inode and can't be killed even with -9. Unforunately I don't remember what was the exact sentence of commands I did before everything seems to work. I know I run edquota, quotaon, checkquota and may be something else and after two (or 3) restarts (with frozen syncer - system wouldn't even reboot (waits 60 second for syncer to finish then it seems it's going to reboot but never does and hard reset is needed) it started to work. It might be that the reason was nonexistent quota.user and quota.group files. -- Michal Mertl mime@traveller.cz To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
