Yeah, that's what I saw on 10.1 as well. It seems 10.2's installation didn't tune the hard drive, so that was where I started. I'm thinking maybe run it under gdb and break into it when it starts going nuts and see what's going on. Could be hit and miss, but if I can get a good stack trace, that might help me at least identify which file is corrupt. I know it's not cache, because I clear that on exit. > I agree that my first step would be to rename my .pan2 directory and let > pan start fresh with a new one. I like that - I can move files back singly as necessary to identify the problem file, assuming it behaves sanely when a clean .pan2 directory is there. > > If that doesn't fix it, then I'd be curious to know which files pan is > thrashing during those minutes while you wait.

Not even hitting the swapfile. Jim _______________________________________________ Pan-users mailing list Pan-users@nongnu.org http://lists.nongnu.org/mailman/listinfo/pan-users
