    Hi. I have been experencing some filesystem problems
    for the last month or so. I was running 4.8-STABLE and
    updated to 5.1-RELEASE-p2. While I was running 4.8
    and I tried to run a command that required hard disk
    activity, the process would 'hang' and I would no
    longer be able to ssh or telnet in. I would get stuck
    after typing in my login.

    Running 5.1 is a different story. I did a low level
    format of the drive then I did a clean
    install of 5.1-RELEASE and cvsup'd to -p2. Every time
    I do this, it's great for a day or so then it acts up.
     Before after it started, even if I rebooted it would
    immediately start up. On 5.1, it is only hanging for
    that process and everything else is fine. I can still
    login, webserver responds, etc.

    Here is a little info:

    Anyone have any suggestions? I can not control-C out
    of 'man vmstat'. While doing 'make' in
    /usr/src/sys/boot it was hanging on as, when I
    restarted it, it got to i386/libi386 and will not do
    anything else. I'm running that through serial
    console, it let me ^C out of that. I tried going into
    single user mode and running umount, now it just sits
    there and I can't ^C. I have no ideas, this was all
    working yesterday!! :-)

    Any ideas on what else to check or other helpful hints
    would help bunches.

    Sorry for the cross-posts. Just not sure where to go
    with this one.

    Thanks,

    Kevin
