This morning I did not succeed to crash teh system. Decwindows is on the 
console and CRTL-F2 failed. Probably I need a LK keyboard (and not a 
PC-keyboard as is connected now). I may still have one, but I'll have to 
look where it is.

That's is logical. What I see is a hang of each process trying to 
perform I/O on the USB-disk.

hmm.. I do not think it is a driver problem, since on the boot-member I 
have attached another USB-drive (also 2GB) which already runs for 215 
days since the last reboot. The machine(s) giving problems are all 
satelites of this boot-member.

I'll have a look at that.
