When it stops, try to reduce kern.maxvnodes to something low (like 100), you can restore it, if the machine wakes up. If this is a memory shortage instead of a deadlock, this will easily free kernel memory. You may need to wait 1-2 minutes to let the page daemon collect free pages. If you cannot issue a sysctl command, you can patch the kernel variable "desiredvnodes" with DDB instead. -- -- Michael van Elst Internet: mlel...@serpens.de "A potential Snark may lurk in every tree."
