Hi I've been seeing a pretty strange problem lately with my server. The box completely freeze typically when it's done running the first part of my backup script, resulting in no possibility to login on the console or by SSH, the freeze even happens when I'm sitting in a terminal and working. There is no indication in log files etc. about what's causing the problem and it's not breaking into debugger either :-( The backup script is really simple, creating a .tgz file of a given directory, mounting a windows share (mount_smbfs) and copying the file. The script is run by cron six times (start at the same time) in six different directories, this results in the box freezes after the tar processes finishes. Attached is the dmesg.boot and the latest top, don't know if it's any use but it's seems rather strange that a lot of processes are in a STATE usf (not sure what this means but I don't sees this when the box is running normally) The kernel is mostly a generic with the following modifications: options IPFIREWALL options IPFIREWALL_VERBOSE options IPFIREWALL_VERBOSE_LIMIT=400 options IPDIVERT options IPSEC options IPSEC_ESP options IPSEC_DEBUG device ath device ath_hal options KDB options DDB bash-2.05b# uname -a FreeBSD bart.motd.dk 5.3-BETA7 FreeBSD 5.3-BETA7 #6: Tue Oct 19 00:36:59 CEST 2004 root_at_bart.motd.dk:/usr/obj/usr/src/sys/GW i386 Any more info needed please let me know. Best regards - Tom
