I wonder if your /tmp filesystem is on a different IDE hard disk on the
same IDE channel? I found that doing a badblock check on my 2nd hard disk
(which died yesterday lunchtime with a shitload of bad sectors - threw it
out after successive badblock scans kept growing the list of bad sectors!)
on the same channel rendered my machine unuseable during badblock's
writing phases.
Reading doesn't have this delerious effect though.
Cheers,
Alex
