While I really doubt that this is related, I discovered today that I'm able to repeatably lock up my -current machine with: find /home -print | afio -T 3k -G 6 -Z -z -v -o - | tee /scratch/backup.afio >/dev/rsa0 It runs for about 5 minutes, then hangs completely. Removing the tee and writing to either of them doesn't cause a hang. Running two afio's with run going to the file and one going to tape doesn't cause a hang. When it locks up, it's doing it pretty solidly. (no ddb, no keyboard echo, etc). I haven't ruled out hardware issues yet though, but it looks slightly pipe related.
