I get similar results when I enable QUOTAs on my kernel. When I recompile without quotas it don't lockup. I have a dual MB but only one slot filled, SCSI, 4.1-STABLE. In the mean time, I operate without quotas, but eventually I will have to get them in place. My question: should I start looking at hardware or software configuration first? -Chris >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> Original Message <<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<< On 8/21/00, 2:03:32 AM, Billy <billy@speakeasy.org> wrote regarding My System Hangs/Deadlock?: > I am currently experiencing problems with my FreeBSD system.
