It does indeed appear under heavy load; I found that out the hard way while connecting my FreeBSD news server to an EMC Symmetrix high-end disk array. The Symmetrix has 1Gb cache RAM, so it seems to the computer like a really big RAM disk in terms of response speeds. It was really unhappy with 2.2.1-RELEASE. > Hopefully, someone more knowledgebale then I am will tell how to > patch the kernel sources of 2.2.1-RELEASE to get the bug fixed. Update yourself to 2.2-970422-RELENG. It works great on my system. -- Robert Levandowski macwhiz@phoebe.accinet.net
