The /dev mounts are mounted with "nolock". Could that be a reason for that problem? Usually I would expect both processes to write concurrently without the "lock" option, maybe destroying the udev.tdb? But perhaps the effect of "nolock" is different in this case, causing the deadlock... -- Dipl.-Inform. Frank Steiner Web: http://www.bio.ifi.lmu.de/~steiner/ Lehrstuhl f.
