What were the symptoms of locked system ? Could you log in on
console, or
do something at the shell prompt on console ?
Console was non-responsive. This time dump locked doing /usr so
pretty much anything you try to run will block. When the lockup
happens when dump is running on my home dir (/u/yertle1) partition,
as long as you don't need that partition you can log in and run any
programs you like. I have a service account whose home dir is in /
var and was able to login that time to that account. No such luck
this time since any activity pretty much uses /usr.
Ping was responding (our monitoring didn't complain it was down).
The only thing I could do was break to debugger on the console.
