I'm starting to suspect that there is a weird swap disk i/o transaction that is screwing up in the scsi subsystem, and that the same kind of transaction doesn't happen in the ufs world. What are your scsi drives and what is your controller? How much swap space do you have on your system and how much memory do you have? Regards, Mark Hittinger Netcom/Dallas bugs@freebsd.netcom.com
