Thanks for the report -- I have some questions below that it would be helpful if you could answer. On Tue, 26 Oct 2004, [iso-8859-2] Sławek Żak wrote: > I've got a Sun V20z 2 cpu Opteron box.

From the above, can I assume that this is a problem on the NFS client, and that the NFS server is on another system reachable via a local area network? When "hung", can the machine be pinged from another machine? From your subject line, it looks like you mean "when debug.mpsafenet=0, this doesn't happen". Is that a correct reading? Could you try running with WITNESS and INVARIANTS enabled, and see if you get any specific warnings or assertion failures? A hard hang could imply a deadlock, which WITNESS would be able to report on. Other sources of hard hangs may be easier to debug with INVARIANTS and WITNESS enabled. If possible, getting access to a serial console might make this problem significantly easier to debug. > I cannot also enter the debugger with C-M-ESC (no serial console at this > moment, sorry).

I can't play with MP watchdog now (4 CPU box arrives in > two weeks). So when there isn't a problem and you try to enter the debugger on the video console, you get the garbage, or only when this problem is manifesting?
