[-- Attachment #1 --] Hi, I have the following situation here: Box A serves as gateway for my local network and also exports some filesystems via NFS. The shares are mounted on box B. Playing a movie from one of the NFS shares on box B works fine. When I try to transfer a file from outside the LAN to box C, which resides inside the LAN, the movie on box B starts to stagger. Box A runs RELENG_5, using a kernel from just before the cpufreq merge works ok (movie doesn't stagger), a kernel from shortly after the merge does not work (movie staggers). Setting "performance_cpu_freq="HIGH"" in rc.conf fixes this, so there seems to have been a change in the defaults. Box A is an i386 SMP machine. Kernel config + dmesg: http://people.freebsd.org/~brueffer/LORIEN http://people.freebsd.org/~brueffer/dmesg.lorien Can anyone confirm this? BTW, there is code in sys/kern/kern_cpu.c to export the current processor speed via sysctl, but the sysctl doesn't show up here. - Christian -- Christian Brueffer chris@unixpages.org brueffer@FreeBSD.org GPG Key: http://people.freebsd.org/~brueffer/brueffer.key.asc GPG Fingerprint: A5C8 2099 19FF AACA F41B B29B 6C76 178C A0ED 982D [-- Attachment #2 --] -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.0 (FreeBSD) iD8DBQFCPNejbHYXjKDtmC0RAiN+AKDalVqidCOk8TB09lmse5F1dwSjCwCghqKs Aoc7t8xLjBkryQS+ZPkTR6c= =SaFU -----END PGP SIGNATURE-----
