I agree 100% with your diagnostic. Its directly as if your /var/spool volume hung and the mylex stopped responding on that channel. I take it there is nothing in dmesg ?
Another thing to try is
touch /foo & hit return (should report it finished) touch /var/spool/foo & (if this never returns you know you /var/spool choked for some reason) - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to majordomo@vger.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/
