Hi. I have been experencing some filesystem problems
for the last month or so. I was running 4.8-STABLE and
updated to 5.1-RELEASE-p2. While I was running 4.8
and I tried to run a command that required hard disk
activity, the process would 'hang' and I would no
longer be able to ssh or telnet in. I would get stuck
after typing in my login.
Running 5.1 is a different story. I did a low level
format of the drive then I did a clean
install of 5.1-RELEASE and cvsup'd to -p2. Every time
I do this, it's great for a day or so then it acts up.
Before after it started, even if I rebooted it would
immediately start up. On 5.1, it is only hanging for
that process and everything else is fine. I can still
login, webserver responds, etc.
Here is a little info:

Anyone have any suggestions? I can not control-C out
of 'man vmstat'. While doing 'make' in
/usr/src/sys/boot it was hanging on as, when I
restarted it, it got to i386/libi386 and will not do
anything else. I'm running that through serial
console, it let me ^C out of that. I tried going into
single user mode and running umount, now it just sits
there and I can't ^C. I have no ideas, this was all
working yesterday!! :-)
Any ideas on what else to check or other helpful hints
would help bunches.
Sorry for the cross-posts. Just not sure where to go
with this one.
Thanks,
Kevin
