I saw this with systems with Green disk drives a while ago. Something going to talk to the drive would just sit for long times while the drive spun up, the cache was validated etc. Other things would be drives on USB disks too when some other USB item started needing input.. since it is a hub environment they can spew for a while and the CPU would report a soft-lockup. > mark > > _______________________________________________ > CentOS mailing list > CentOS at centos.org > https://lists.centos.org/mailman/listinfo/centos -- Stephen J Smoogen.
