Hi,

When my client ( FreeBSD 5.4 ) are connected the server ( Gentoo 2.6.14 
) uses 100% CPU on "bbstored" process.... its not transfering any data.

The Client remains connected all the time, until I "kill -9 processid" 
or it finishes after 1 hour and 8 mins.

Its runs over a 100 Mbit LAN connection

I have run "bbstoreaccounts check 1" and theres not any errors/corruptions

As I can see here the whole process takes about 1 hour and 8 mins? are 
that correct? and it transfered 381 Kbyte......?

( using ifstat to see the bandwidth usage.... its at 0.7 kbyte/sec at 
all the time except when it transfers the new files.... )

any hints what might cause this behavior?

best regards
