I only connect to the BSD system via ssh at the moment, there is no keyboard attached. The ssh shell running "top" doesn't update anymore and doesn't take any input. A new ssh session is not possible. Pressing the power button once does not shut down the machine, i have to keep it pressed for several seconds to power down hard.
I will try out disabling "sendfile" and, if i can manage, also try out the patch. This would be my first kernel patch and compilation, so it might take a while to learn. :) Would i run the risk of loosing the patch when running "freebsd-update"? Will the patch be provided by "freebsd-update" at some point?
