You serious? You know better than that! Thrashing hard disk means something is going on. You DO NOT pull a plug at that stage. I've had hard disks thrash for 10 minutes before. No biggie. Depends on what it's doing at the time. > Any ideas on when this will time-out? Or will it? Am I screwed or > what? Probably. Try booting single and running chkconfig to turn SMB off on runlevel 3 or 5 (whatever you're using) Good Luck. --- Edward Dekkers (Director) Triple D Computer Services P/L -- redhat-list mailing list unsubscribe mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]?subject=unsubscribe https://listman.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/redhat-list
