"user map" and "allproc" refer to the wait channel names. "user map" is not very helpful to me (it's the lock associated with a class of vm maps and tracking where it's waited on is not easy). "allproc" refers to allproc_lock. The output from "vmstat -i" would be interesting, though it may not respond... How difficult would it be to build a test system somewhere where the console was accessible? I don't think you are going to make progress without console access. --=20 Peter Jeremy --jq0ap7NbKX2Kqbes Content-Type: application/pgp-signature Content-Disposition: inline -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.6 (FreeBSD) iD8DBQFF7GKy/opHv/APuIcRAtmSAJ0bJ6Fd6OJWgWdAK0AADjHKJqZNfACfVni4 DO3EZwt9RFxtgAzB9AAmNAU= =hBCj -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- --jq0ap7NbKX2Kqbes--
