Try vmstat to help you understand what is creating the load. In general if it isn't a process eating up CPU time then it is a blocking disk read/write. Very slow disk reads/writes, particularly when they appear suddenly on a system that has been working fine, can be an indication of a looming hardware failure. Also, have you eliminated NFS as your problem? When the problem has occurred have you tried going to the server and creating a file directory? If you can do it on the server, but not via an NFS mount I'd suspect a network/NFS problem. Pete -- http://www.elbnet.com ELB Internet Service, Inc.
