Are you using the same disk controller as Peter ? Do both of you run
with quotas on the file system ? By lockup, do you mean it doesnt

I dont think he can be using yhe same controller, as mine is an
embedded HPO unit. they do make a separate plugin one though - P400
SAS controller.
My symptoms are that the thing locks hard and respionds to nothing, no
keypresses or anything. I am assuming that the disc is the first thing to
go though, ebcause I see data which was being written to a file and a
processes reading from that file to the network. more of the file comes
over the network than makes it phyiscally onto the disc
The only useful error I ever saw was the message about spin
lock / turnstile locks being held for too long.

OK, perhaps my issue is different then. My symptoms seem to be a hang
from anything that triggers a fork(), such as entering a command at a
shell prompt or entering a user name at the console's login prompt.
Network activity still works -- all the TCP connections stay up until I
drop into the kernel debugger or power cycle.
