Something is wrong with your setup/config. Solaris that's what we are trying to figure out here. at least two people have said that they can reproduce the symptoms in their setup too. Other x86 servers ran beautifully 'out of the box', with no tune-ups or patches required. congrats! you are

Also note that my song is in one fat32 partition and mozilla tar is on another fat32. The destination of untar is on / which is logging. Is the pcfs driver the culprit here? I have doubt about that because bzip2 never figured in the above mentioned 5 seconds in iosnoop. Moreover, the

I got hold of iosnoop and invoked it with -v right after I started the song and invoked untar of mozilla. There was a time I noted when ogg123 hung for nearly 5 seconds by simply using date commands. I took that timestamp and grepped in iosnoop log. Here is a snippet of iosnoop output around
