Is it still transfering any data or does it just stop dead? If the data transfer rate you see is the average then it could be the latter. If it stops dead then you need to find out what it is waiting for. It might be an external resource or some kind of deadlock bug. What do status director, status storage and storage client report? Also, you could attach gdb to each daemon and run the gdb command thread apply all bt to try to find out what all the threads are doing. __Martin ------------------------------------------------------------------------- SF.Net email is sponsored by: The Future of Linux Business White Paper from Novell.
