James Lim,
The problem is that I need to be able to determine where problems are comming from. I would like to know how much memory the kernel is useing up. I know quite abit about unix, just not that much about free-bsd specifically. I have over 85 FreeBSD machines, and I would like to be able to start pinpointing problem area's. Mostly just odd problems, like tar only useing 1% of the processor, but the computer near locks up, and the HD interupts called are about 145-300 from the vmstat that i'm reading. Could that just be the scsi-bus maxing out or is that possibly the kernel not processing it fast enough?
-Justin Booth.
