When mounting two partitions from a USB dirve, it can cause the drive access lock up for a long time. Details:
Terminal 1 -- term1# mount /dev/da0s3d /mnt term1# cd /mnt ; rm -fr * when rm starts, go to terminal 2 and do: term2# mount /dev/da0s3e /dist ### this will hanging for a long time and USB hard drive activity light is off. After more than 1-2 minutes, mount returns, and the drive activity light is blinking, thus removing is going on. term2# ls /dist ### this will cause dUSB dirve hanging again -- no avtivity. Similarly, ls will finish in a couple of miniutes or longer, the rm command continues; but for a while, the drive activity will stop again. Reboot machine, repeat the above steps, and result will be the same. Reboot machine again, and just mount one partition, then doing "rm -rf *" without involve the second partition, rm will finish quickly. Has anyone obseved this behave on 8.0-RC? -Jin _______________________________________________ freebsd-stable@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-stable To unsubscribe, send any mail to "freebsd-stable-unsubscr...@freebsd.org"
