I just updated to RELENG_7 from 6.2 and I'm running into some really annoying issues with jerky mouse movement and skipping sound. This seems to be similar to: Re: SCHED_4BSD in RELENG_7 disturbs workflow This happens both with 4BSD and ULE. I seems to happen when I'm compiling ports and a new cc/bzip2/sh process fires off (I'm just watching top), I'll get the skip/freezeup. This behavior is pretty pronounced, as I'm installing gutenprint right now....

Hello, I have a RELENG_6/AMD64 with an AMD64X2 cpu, 1GB of memory, 512MB swap. I remarked that when I run 2 simulation program [1], sometimes, one of them run one or several of its threads [2] very slowly, but sometimes, it doesn't occur. I remarked that is doesn't depend on SMP/UP, ULE/4BSD, i386/AMD64. It seems to occur also with the kernel stress test under the same conditions (all of them). In this case, the mouse is blocked, etc. I tested different kernels, and recorded the output of sysctl vm [3]. I increased vm.swap_async_max but this doesn't change the deal /a priori/. A...

Hello everybody Unfortunately my problem still doesn't have any solution. But I have an interesting observation. The gateway freezes very quickly, if torrent client programs are running on workstations. I assume the cause of the problem consists in many number of TCP/IP connections that torrent client establishes. Any ideas? Maybe I can tune somehow a TCP/IP via kernel, sysctl or pf settings?

Hi, I've got a new server with a 3ware 9550SXU with the Battery. I am using FreeBSD 7.0-Release (tried both 4BSD and ULE) using AMD64 and the 3ware performance for writes is just plain horrible. Something is obviously wrong but I'm not sure what. I've got a 4 disk RAID 10 array. According to 3dm2 the cache is on. I even tried setting The StorSave preference to "Performance" with no real...

The OS is: FreeBSD 7.0-STABLE/amd64 from Sat Jul 26, 2008 and the box is otherwise perfectly functional. The scheduling-related options are set as such: options SCHED_4BSD # 4BSD scheduler options _KPOSIX_PRIORITY_SCHEDULING # POSIX P1003_1B real-time extensions Let me know, what else I can do to help fix this bug -- I'm going to reboot the machine tonight... Should I switch to SCHED_ULE as a work-around? Thanks! Yours, -mi

Hello, using 8.2 the machine runs fine, using 8.3 or higher, not so much. In laymans terms, if I do "too many" writes/time just once, the machine can't do any disk access for a couple of hours. As in: What's already running stays running, no crashes or anything, but as soon as I need to read from disk (login, start program not cached in memory from previous run), I'm

Hello! My attempt to build openoffice.org-3 seems to be hanging. Pressing Ctrl-T produces: load: 0.11 cmd: tcsh 79759 [sleeping without queue] 0.00u 0.00s 0% 0k (tcsh is used by OOo's build-script). What is this "sleeping without queue" state, and why is process in it for so long? This is an 4-CPU amd64 system with 4Gb of RAM. Only 16% of the swap is currently in use and

Ok tried with an updated 7 world / kernel as of this afternoon and with 4BSD instead of ULE and no difference the machine still locks up with no activity for anywhere from 20 to 30 seconds.

Hello, i'm experiencing periodic kernel panics on a server with FreeBSD 7.0-STABLE #0: Tue May 20 19:09:43 CEST 2008. My big problem is that the system is not performing memory dumping and/or automatic reoboot, it just stays there. Here' console output: em0: watchdog timeout -- resetting kernel trap 12 with interrupts disabled Fatal trap 12: page fault while in kernel mode cpuid = 0;

...ted from AGP slot on) made things clear, but using both NICs together (either additional fxp0 or the new em0) remains the systems completely unstable. In FreeBSD 5.1-RELEASE-p2 and especially in FreeBSD 5.1-CURRENT this 'gambling' seems to reach its climax. My kernel is built up with SCHED_4BSD because SCHED_ULE and ADAPTIVE_MUTEXES crashes immediately the same way as described (running a while, then coredumping or freeze at the stage after the amr0-RAID showed up in the kernel boot messages, see the dmesg output below). I'm not an hardware expert, but all this wierd stuff looks like...

I need to build up a few servers and routers, and am wondering how FreeBSD 9.1 is shaping up. Will it be likely to be more stable and robust than 9.0-RELEASE? Are there issues that will have to wait until 9.2-RELEASE to be fixed? Opinions welcome. --Brett Glass
