I ran for more than 10 hours yesterday with lock profiling enabled and did not observe a single freeze. After about 7 hours, I stopped the lock profiling and within 20 mins or so, I experienced a NINE MINUTE freeze!! On re-enabling the lock profiling, I ran for about 3 more hours with no further freezes. At the time of that long freeze, all I was doing was typing an email message. The load average was almost 0. Mail client is claws-email. Also running but idle were firefox, ical, several xterms, fvwm & its children (Fvwm{Buttons,Event,Pager,IconMan}), xload and xclock. And xorg which uses the xf86-video-intel driver. Daemons running were wpa_supplicant, dhclient, devd, syslogd, cupsd, ntpd, powerd, sshd, sendmail, cron, moused and xdm. That is all. I had only one browser window open, the last page I'd viewed there was one containing some flash, I have linux-flash7 installed and nspluginwrapper to make that work in the native browser. All code (kernel, world and ports) have been compiled locally - there are no packages installed. Kernel is RELENG_7 from two days ago, world and ports are about one month old. If I get time today I may have a go at getting schedgraph info instead of continuing with lock profiling. -jr --Sig_/W=Aba0OejZAET3zMYWvrX9/ Content-Type: application/pgp-signature; name=signature.asc Content-Disposition: attachment; filename=signature.asc -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.7 (FreeBSD) iD8DBQFHiPlNls33urr0k4kRAlRqAJ0TUqLHfnq1GJzndxlyIjcZS6fBlgCeOZN0 FnGn3+osF8ZMgQm6oPvgWVc= =DMdA -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- --Sig_/W=Aba0OejZAET3zMYWvrX9/--
