Re: What would cause a PWRDWNSYS to hang on D6000298 for 10 t0 20 minutes.

Flushing of all dirty data in memory to disk.

If for example you have just completed a SAVE 21 that will take 'some minute's with all the updates to 'last saved' etc.

The more memory the partition has the longer it takes.

The slower or fewer disk arms you have the longer it takes.
