> Some problems I faced the last few hours suggest that the "test-11" kernel and 0.4 may have some serious problems. Until now I couldn't get no oops or any info on the logs that could drop some light on this. So sorry I can only describe the phenomena. Under smbfs I tried to download some quite heavy files (>200MB) and browse the directories. While these processes where in action, my machine "hanged" for some seconds (up to 10 sec. maximum). It was impossible to give input in any console. I'm having serious troubles on downloading from a NFS server. A file weighing 700MB takes nearly two times longer to download than usual. Besides, in one of these downloads the machine froze completely. It was impossible even to use the "magic keys". On checking the filesystem, the downloaded file was completely trashed. Interesting to note that a few seconds before the hangup, I noted the download rate slowly dropping from 500KB/sec down to 300KB/sec. (usually I get a 1-1,47MB rate with the mentioned server). On copying a two files disk-to-disk I noted the following. The first file, nearly 70Mb weight went with a rate 2.4MB. The second one, nearly 75MB, got a rate of 3,1MB. The first disk is a standard IDE disk, while the second sits in a UDMA/66 controller. Any ideas? Ektanoor
