[Just starting out with DTrace and was hoping to get some guidance.] I have a "benchmark" program that I monitored with both prstat (prstat -mL -P <PID>) and pfilestat (from the DTrace toolkit). Prstat reports LAT values in the 0.1-0.2% range, but pfilestat reports "waitcpu" values in the 6-10%. Since those two numbers supposedly represent time waiting for the CPU,

I''m looking for a suggestion on a good way to hunt down the source of high context switching and mutex contentions... Is dtrace the way to go now, or should I stick with something like lockstat?

A few days ago I installed dovecot stable to replace uw-imap. The install went well and all boxes were converted ok. When accessing the new imap server though, certain operations seem much slower, in particular, moving mail between boxes is very slow, and I have received several complaints from users that the mail server has slowed down. I can't figure out what the slow point is as maildir

hello! First of all thank you for all your information you give us on this sites. It is a great help to learn for example dtrace. i''ve a little script in work, which shows the cpu utilization per process in percent. this output is refreshed every 2 seconds for example. now i want to extend this script with the output of the allocated bytes of memory per process. how could i display this

Folks, Perplexing question about load average display with prstat -Z Solaris 10 OS U4 (08/07) We have 4 zones with very different processes and workloads.. The prstat -Z command issued within each of the zones, correctly displays the number of processes and lwps, but the load average value looks exactly the same on all non-global zones..I mean all 3 values (1,5,15 load averages) are the same

Hi world, I have a 10-disk RAID-Z2 system with 4 GB of DDR2 RAM and a 3 GHz Core 2 Duo. It''s exporting ~280 filesystems over NFS to about half a dozen machines. Under some loads (in particular, any attempts to rsync between another machine and this one over SSH), the machine''s load average sometimes goes insane (27+), and it appears to all be in kernel-land (as nothing in

I have a SunRay server that I am looking at to determine some sizing requirements in my department. The machine has 16G of ram and 10G of swap. Currently, I have about 4G of swap used. I am wondering if dtrace/mdb can be used to find out what lwp/processes have been swapped out? Any hints? This message posted from opensolaris.org

I am looking for Dtrace scripts that can be used to collect data during performance tests. I am especially interested in IO but CPU, memory, threads, etc are needed as well. Thanks, Dave

Hello, I've been trying to figure out what's wrong with authentication against an ldap pass/user db with test67 as test62 was working fine. [ The problem is the same as previously described in this list : - FreeBSD-5.3 - dovecot-1.0-test67 - openldap-2.1.27 --> "ldap(dovetest,127.0.0.1): No password in reply" --> "NO Temporary authentication failure." or --

Hi all, I have exchanged my Dell R610 in favor of a Sun Fire 4170 M2 which has 32 GB RAM installed. I am running Sol11Expr on this host and I use it to primarily serve Netatalk AFP shares. From day one, I have noticed that the amount of free RAM decereased and along with that decrease the overall performance of ZFS decreased as well. Now, since I am still quite a Solaris newbie, I seem to

Greetings, I noticed a while back someone posted a patch/plugin that allowed Dovecot to use compressed mbox files. I'm now wondering how far that would put us from having compressed maildir? I have a server with more CPU than disk space, and while I can buy more HDD space, my backup solution doesn't make that practical. It seems to me that when looking for a message file, if it

Hello, I'm wondering if the following situation is valid (though I think it isn't since I still cannot authenticate with ldap pass/userdb on test67 running on FreeBSD-5.3). Is it normal that the passdb_ldap_conn->attr_names second element (for instance) "turns to" "homeDirectory" as the following step by step gdb run sample shows ? : -- Breakpoint 1,

I've recently upgraded from test53 to test73 from a source compile on FreeBSD 5.3, and am getting some [BADCHARSET] errors in 73 that I wasn't getting in 53 (specifically with Squirrelmail). When I run one of Squirrelmail's built-in filters, I get the following error: ERROR: Could not complete request. Query: SEARCH CHARSET ISO-8859-1 UNSEEN Subject {14} *****SPAM***** Reason

http://dovecot.org/test/ Hopefully better release than last one. Fixes several problems test66 had and also some older problems reported in this list. It also contains a pretty large mbox code cleanup, fixing several problems (especially related to X-IMAP/X-IMAPbase headers) and making it a bit faster. Maybe I'll backport it to 1.0-stable too when it looks like it's stable.. BTW. mbox

Hello Timo, your patch introducing pass_attr_names and user_attr_names fixed the problem of the 'shared' attr_names member of [passdb|userdb]_ldap_conn as I answered in the relative thread. Now I think there is a problem while comparing user-provided and ldap-provided passwords causing a false 'password mismatch' situation, while using PLAIN mechanism with LDAP authentication.

http://dovecot.org/test/ Two potentially dangerous changes: - mbox parser should now be able to handle CR+LF linefeeds. Hopefully doesn't break anything. - Some mail header parser changes. Hopefully doesn't break anything. And other stuff: - COPY shouldn't crash anymore with 64bit systems - If PAM modifies username, keep it - When auth workers died they leaked file

Howdy, Is there a method to get the number of elements in an aggregation? Are the results stored in an aggregation guaranteed to be in any type of order? Thanks for any insight, - Ryan -- UNIX Administrator http://daemons.net/~matty

Does anyone out there have any thoughts on the type of load common DTrace scripts would cause on a system if run 24x7? I know "common DTrace scripts" and their underlining probe calls a vague statement. So for the lack of a common and establish set of scripts in the OS, I''ll use the most popular right for my question...the DTraceToolkit from Brendan Gregg. Which by the
