Can you monitor the size of your FFS node malloc pool? Eg:
#!/bin/csh
while 1
vmstat -m | fgrep FFS | fgrep -v NFS
sleep 60
end
You should see something like:
FFS node 10398 5199K 5199K 79618K 16183 0 0 512
FFS node 10398 5199K 5200K 79618K 16184 0 0 512
FFS node 10398 5199K 5200K 79618K 16184 0 0 512
<..>
And see what it says at the point where you can not access your disks?
I recently saw a lockup (on alpha) which sounds similar to yours, &
the FFS node pool was exhausted.
Cheers,
Drew
