SLow down or do in chunks makeworld

[Neil Doody]

Firstly appologies for my repeat post, the first one didn't go through
after 24 hours I sent it again, but it was stuck in a que.

Now my problem, im having the problem of signal 12's when running a make
world.

Is there anyway to make perhaps run slower, because im told its when a
lot of write activity is going on the hdd.

Or perhaps thers a way to make buildworld continue where it crashed
rather than doing the whole lot again, then when it crashes I can start
it from where it was last ?

Are you sure it's signal 12?  This is illegal system call which
usually means you have accidentally upgraded your userland to
5.0-CURRENT.

If you actually meant signal 11, this is likely to be failing hardware
(RAM, CPU cooling, etc) and you should read the FAQ entry on this
subject.

This is unlikely either way.  If you have failing hardware you need to
identify and replace it, because it's not going to get better, and it
will continue to cause you lots of problems.
