Hi folks,
Since the early Tiger betas, and now still on 10.4.1, I'm getting a weird lockup every day or two.
CPU usage climbs, the fans turn on, and the system gradually becomes completely unresponsive, to the point that nothing works except the mouse arrow. A process called "update" is the CPU hogger. Only a forced reboot will fix it.
And the system.log fills up with errors like this:
May 17 20:27:06 PB17 kernel[0]: hotfiles_evict: err 28 relocating file 96927
repeated at a rate of 10 to 20 per second.
The file number changes every time, but even so my guess is that some specific file is corrupted and interferes with the automatic disk compacting stuff.
Anything I should look for, or some test I can run, before submitting a bug report to Apple?
Thanks,
--
