ICMP is a basic function built into the ethernet interface. I suspect the rest of you system was so tied up, with CPU at 100%. So the random text is whatever the system could still output to the console before being totally consumed. You would do well to try a few things. I would try the import of the data again but do it in two steps. First move the data from the USB drive to the hard drive, and unmount the usb drive. Then try the import from the file(s) on the hard drive. Your system may have had trouble with the usb drive and that caused the system to freeze. -Derek -- This message has been scanned for viruses and dangerous content by MailScanner, and is believed to be clean. ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

I have been having the same problem with a 6.3 server but without random text. ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
