Hi list, Recently I've been experimenting with fetching files via bittorrent clients, and storing torrents as well as their resulting files on a fat formatted slice (automatically recognized and setup during fbsd installation a couple of years ago). Now after adding around ~three or more concurrent torrents something happens with the fat slice and/or its driver. All programs trying to access the slice will freeze and this even includes the Gnome desktop. During shutdown, flushing of a little more than 1600 buffers fails. I run 6.2-release. Does the FAT driver contain known concurrency issues, and can I work around them by using certain mount parameters??? I have tried two different clients - ctorrent and transmission - and they both behave the same. All is well when using a std ufs slice. br Nikolaj
