OK, here are the answers to your questions in order sorry, it takes a
while to generate this stuff as I have to reboot every time the mouse
freezes. I am also CC'ing -STABLE to see if anybody else can get this
to happen.
I only lose the mouse during -heavy- disk activity. If I build a
release, /usr/ports/distfiles (which is 1.6 gig on my machine and 810
files) gets recursively copied into /usr/release. That's generally
enough to absolutely kill the mouse.
- I am attaching dmesg.boot and my kernel config. I have one
optimization in /etc/make.conf,
CPUTYPE=i686
and also the following, which is only supposed to affect ports.
# port optimized cflags?
WITH_OPTIMIZED_CFLAGS=yes
I am remaking world w/o the CPUTYPE right now, and will post results
soon with the new kernel is an hour or so.
1. I am definitely seeing systat -vmstat cruisng way past 64KB/t. I
don't know if this is what is actually happening, but it's what I
see. I also see about 150 TPS and 15 MB/s.
Here are some numbers from stopping vmstat...
KB/t 87.92
tps 140 <- these numbers multiply out correctly,
MB/s 12.02 assuming 1024 byte K.
%busy 100 87.92 * 140 / 1024 = 12.0203125
and interrupt at 3.9%, system at 9.9%
Is there some way to capture vmstat screens? I tried 'script' and
it's hash, and I can't use X - no mouse!
This is with one disk, and no RAID.
2. Interrupt is about 7%, saw it go to 10% once.
3. No tagged queuing.
4. Don't think I am running PIO. No DMA failure messages. I will run
a recursive diff on the copy to see if there are any data errors.
5. Problem is about the same, maybe a bit better lately.

questions,
