I have 2 cores from machines in the aforementioned state. What should I do? For those not playing at home, it appears there is some sort of deadlock situation in the NFS or VM system. The indication of this is a process that blocks in 'vmpfw' for no apparent reason. All other transactions to that same filesystem continue per normal. A specific interaction to that same file will block. For example say that 'emacs' has entered the 'vmpfw' state, other transactions to the same FS will continue unimpeded, but 'cat emacs >/dev/null' will also enter eternal disk-wait without ever any kernel messages. -- David Cross | email: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Acting Lab Director | NYSLP: FREEBSD Systems Administrator/Research Programmer | Web: http://www.cs.rpi.edu/~crossd Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute, | Ph: 518.276.2860 Department of Computer Science | Fax: 518.276.4033 I speak only for myself. | WinNT:Linux::Linux:FreeBSD To Unsubscribe: send mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with "unsubscribe freebsd-hackers" in the body of the message
