Here is an example of my :system: Yes. I've moved the partitions to one of our Sun servers, and I've done some other playing. Changing the fsck -p to a plain fsck works, but has obvious disadvantages on a system that should run unattended. It seems like it is hanging when it forks off the fsck for wd0e. I have actually run this same hardware with FreeBSD loaded locally and wd0e and wd1f set to check in parallel (1 2/1 2), and since that was horribly slow, also to check one at a time. It would not seem to be a hardware problem. I am mildly puzzled by this behaviour. mycogen# cat etc/fstab /dev/wd0a / ufs rw 1 1 /dev/wd0e /var ufs rw 1 2 /dev/wd1f /var/spool/uucp ufs rw 1 3 solaria:/var/export/freebsd-usr /usr nfs rw 0 0 solaria:/var/spool/freebsd-usrshare /usr/share nfs rw 0 0 solaria:/usr/u0 /usr/u0 nfs rw 0 0 ...
