I appreciate your suggestion (and Keith's) one. Both suggestion will be hard to deploy, as it seems my disk self-powers down regularly. Anyway I think I've determined (by killing a locked-down mc instance, huh) that the system or relevant sub-system was still in a loop of retries, meaning that mc is probably not culprit here. I presume it doesn't even has the cpu cycles enough to propose interaction to the user, allowing to abort. Thanks to all and sorry for the noise! Regards, -- wwp
