Hello,
I have a FreeBSD 5.4R box running BIND 9.3.1 from base on a dual Xeon
with hyperthreading enabled.
According to the man page for named:
-n #cpus
Create #cpus worker threads to take advantage of multiple CPUs.
If not specified, named will try to determine the number of CPUs
present and create one thread per CPU. If it is unable to
determine the number of CPUs, a single worker thread will be
created.
Yet I seem to have six threads:
mx01$ ps -xauwH | grep bind
bind 95906 0.0 5.4 58444 56876 ?? SLs 1:16PM 143:20.01
/usr/sbin/named -u bind -t /var/named
bind 95906 0.0 5.4 58444 56876 ?? SLs 1:16PM 143:20.01
/usr/sbin/named -u bind -t /var/named
bind 95906 0.0 5.4 58444 56876 ?? SLs 1:16PM 143:20.01
/usr/sbin/named -u bind -t /var/named
bind 95906 0.0 5.4 58444 56876 ?? SLs 1:16PM 143:20.01
/usr/sbin/named -u bind -t /var/named
bind 95906 0.0 5.4 58444 56876 ?? SLs 1:16PM 143:20.01
/usr/sbin/named -u bind -t /var/named
bind 95906 0.0 5.4 58444 56876 ?? SLs 1:16PM 143:20.01
/usr/sbin/named -u bind -t /var/named
Does this mean there is a bug in BIND, or am I missing something?
Thanks,
Frem.
