Before I resort to a reboot, I wonder if anyone has any pointers:
ES40, DU 4.0F, PK2.
The ps command hangs and the ps process then cant be killed
or backgrounded.
vmstat shows nothing unusual:
Virtual Memory Statistics: (pagesize = 8192)
  procs    memory         pages                          intr        cpu

Swap space seems plentiful:
Swap partition /dev/rz0b:
    Allocated space:       500000 pages (3906MB)
    In-use space:               1 pages (  0%)
    Free space:            499999 pages ( 99%)
Total swap allocation:
    Allocated space:       500000 pages (3906MB)
    In-use space:               1 pages (  0%)
    Available space:       499999 pages ( 99%)
And the machine seems to be functioning as normal, apart from this.
Any ideas folks?
