Thanks Joan, I appreciate the advise, unfortunately the box I'm working returns:
# ps -axw | grep s6-l|grep erro 83417 - Is 0:00.01 s6-log n14 r7000 s100000 S3000000 n14 -.* +fatal: 2 -.* +^STAT =/var/log/httpd/error/status f !/usr/bi # ktrace -f /tmp/s-log.txt -p 83417 ktrace: /tmp/s-log.txt: Function not implemented Its a preproduction box, everything optimised and stripped (no debug symbols). I've worked with nullfs since 2004, probably a little delicate then, but I've used extensively on customer sites and its proven to be ok. :) The nullfs component is where the files are piped through, and not the end-point destination which is ufs2 on an SSD. Regards, Dewayne.
