I put /usr/obj on a geom_vinum RAID5 and that worked fine. Maybe you're low on memory? Is swap also on a geom_vinum volume? > I noticed that geom_vinum RAID5 is about twice as fast as 'classic' > vinum RAID5 concerning sequential write and has therefor a higher > CPU-usage as before - but that should not prevent the swap_pager from > working... I'm really astonished that you experience that performance. :-) My tests showed that vinum is faster as geom_vinum in the RAID5 case (yet). > Another problem occurs if geom_vinum.ko is loaded via loader.conf - it > does not panic any more (as it does about two weeks ago), but it does > not collect all subdisks of a RAID5-plex *at boottime*.
