I was about the make the comment in my last posting that it almost always occurred on my system when disk and network activity were combined (such as updating my local CVS repository). Wether the same process has to be causing both the network and disk activity to cause the failure, I'm not exactly sure. I do remember someone else posting it happened while they were sending a backup to the machine over the network, and another person mentioned it also happened while doing cvsup activity over the network. I think yet another mentioned it happened while copying a file between an NFS mount and a local filesystem. In your case, a piece of mail arriving could cause network and disk activity simultaneously. The network/disk activity does not have to be heavy in my case (only a 33k6 link). Anyone else seeing the same pattern I am? :-) I don't think I mentioned before that all of my filesystems except two rarely used ones have softupdates enabled. All of the activity occurred on softupdates filesystems. AFAIK no data was corrupted and fsck had a pretty easy time cleaning things up. -- Chris Dillon - cdillon@wolves.k12.mo.us - cdillon@inter-linc.net /* FreeBSD: The fastest and most stable server OS on the planet.
