Philippe (and anyone with the stuck process problem)

Can you reconfigure your system so that it does not use swap space on the
scsi drive?  I noted in your configuration that you had some ide drives
with swap space on them.  If you need an additional swap file on the ide
drive to handle the load you can do it with vfs.

It would be helpful to me if you could operate for awhile without scsi
drive swap space and see if the "hung ps" etc problem goes away.
