asynchronous + log should be impossible.
I've just discovered that the hard way :)
Did you find out wether the system is really hanging or just very slow? In particular, is there any disk activity and does the system respond on the network?
Like I said earlier on this thread, the system hangs, no service responds anymore, but the server still replies to ICMP and does not panic. I waited for about 4 hours to see if the operations would proceed but they didn't. ------------------------------------------------------------------ Emile `iMil' Heitor .°. <imil@{home.imil.net,NetBSD.org,gcu.info}> _ | http://imil.net | ASCII ribbon campaign ( ) | http://www.NetBSD.org | - against HTML email X | http://gcu.info | & vCards / \
