I woke up to a frozen box this morning - it froze up a few more times before I got a handle on it. Basically, the box runs idle but refuses to do disk IO, or does it -very- slowly. Top shows processes stuck in 'ffsvget', 'inode', and 'vlruwk' state. I can get the box responsive again by setting sysctl kern.maxvnods=100000. It starts up with kern.maxnodes=36079. I

I recently did a backport of a couple of networking bug fixes from s10x_u4_b6 to s10x_u3_b10. I patched just /platform/i86pc/kernel/unix and /platform/i86pc/kernel/amd64/unix in my existing u3 OS image and I''m seeing this dtrace problem when running any dtrace script: NODE hcb101 ~ $ ./tcpstat.sh dtrace: failed to compile script /dev/fd/10: "/usr/lib/dtrace/procfs.d", line

Hi all, I am using libvirt:qemu-kvm and I want to access(RO) the procfs of the guest vm. I was trying to use guestfs for the same purpose. I can access /tmp of the guest but not the /proc Is it a known issue? If so, how can I overcome the same? Any pointers? Snippet> [root@hv285 scoreboards]# virsh list Id Name State

I know this has been brought up before but I''m receiving the error ... Process environment requires procfs(5) ... when trying to restart my cluster. I''ve narrowed it down to ''find_pid'' method in init.rb. I''m running a FreeBSD 6.2 server and mongrel_cluster version 1.0.5. The command that gives me the error is ... ps -ewwo pid,command ... but

Hello, I was wondering if it was possible to limit user access on /proc without having to use securelevels. For some reason chmod 751 /proc (or 750) does nothing. Is this possible on FreeBSD 4.9 ? Can't find anything about it in the manual pages. Just want to prevent lusers from running: for file in /proc/*/cmdline; do cat $file; echo; done Greetz, Jimmy Scott

I''m running the latest mongrel (1.0.1) and the latest mongrel_cluster (1.0.1.1) on FreeBSD 6.1. When I use capistrano to try to stop or restart my cluster I get this (partial) output: ps: Process environment requires procfs(5) And my Mongrel processes haven''t stopped. Any ideas? Thanks, Jamie

I didn't get much (read: any) feedback from the freebsd-emulation list on this, so i'm passing it on myself. My original post can be found at: http://lists.freebsd.org/pipermail/freebsd-emulation/2003-August/000136.html A few days ago, i found myself in need of mounting a vmware image on my old 4.7-STABLE system. To do this, i needed linprocfs functioning properly, but this module

Hi! I've updated the patch I've tested on 6.3 for 6.4 (only offsets differ), if anyone can test it I can file a PR so it hopefully :) can be committed: http://people.freebsd.org/~nox/linprocfs-6.4.patch (same patch for 6.3: http://people.freebsd.org/~nox/linprocfs-6.3.patch ) The original posting with the patch for RELENG_7 that I used is here:

When I run this: tc filter add dev eth0 parent 1: protocol ip prio 1 handle 1 fw I get: RTNETLINK answers: Invalid argument The traditional interpretation of that gnarly error message is that cls_fw is missing, but lsmod | grep cls_fw gets me: cls_fw 2336 4 (autoclean) I can''t remove it because it''s in use, but all 4 statements that use it failed, so

Hi, I wonder whether R can finish the following project: I want to make a chart to represent 10 genes. Each gene has orientation and length. Therefore, a gene can be represented by arrows. Can R be used to draw 10 arrows in one line ? scott --------------------------------- [[alternative HTML version deleted]]

We've got Samba 2.0.6 running as a PDC, Windows 98 clients domain logins. Works beautifully except for changing password - when changing passwords through Control Panel | Passwords, Win98 says 'Unable to change password for Microsoft Networking because of the following error: Incorrect password'. As it happens, the supplied password is correct. smbd log as follows : [2000/03/13

running 4.8 stable, the cmdline file in /proc/$$ seems to be trucated at, or before 256 bytes for very long command lines. I cant find any refernec to this behaviour in the manpage, nor does google reveal anything. I took a look in the source, but didnt properly understand what was going on - the comments imply that it does give the full commandline for the current process, however. any

Hi everybody, today I met the following problems on my freebsd box. I had a USB stick of opensolaris bootable USB image and tried to mount it on my fbsd box. The first time, when I tried to mount the usb device, my system freezed and then rebooted giving me one core in my dumpdev. When I tried to redo the mounting, the kernel informed me that the filesystem needed to be fsck'd before
