I'm still running 1.0 (yeah) and occasionally get stuck disks. Like right now.
My "exmh" is stuck trying to run "scan", and another window hung when I tried
to do a "cd Mail/inbox", so that disk (/usr/local) is hosed. ps -alx shows
UID PID PPID CPU PRI NI VSZ RSS WCHAN STAT TT TIME COMMAND
1074 2978 2946 22 -5 0 460 712 vflush D ?? 0:00.52 scan +inbox -
1074 2949 2942 0 -14 0 584 2252 988c00 Ds+ p2 0:00.94 -csh (tcsh)
for the two stuck processes. There's no driver feedback, so I have no idea
whether the disk is out to lunch or there's a driver problem and it's stuck
(the driver, that is).
Reboot time ...
