I upgraded 2 of our servers from 4-releng around 4.1.1-release to one that cvsup on Dec 7. Before the upgrade, the systems were running at load around 2. After the upgrade, the load went to over 40 just after few hours of usage. Here was some data from top... ----- last pid: 26893; load averages: 36.05, 40.55, 47.01 up 0+04:29:07 18:14:54 513 processes: 9 running, 503 sleeping, 1 zombie CPU states: 21.3% user, 0.7% nice, 30.0% system, 10.7% interrupt, 37.3% idle Mem: 196M Active, 204M Inact, 83M Wired, 17M Cache, 61M Buf, 1152K Free Swap: 600M Total, 17M Used, 583M Free, 2% Inuse, 232K Out ----- The one thing I noticed was the system started swaping constantly, even though the Swap Used did not go up. Also, the system still had 204M Inact. No Swap Used before the upgrade. I did some search on the mail lists and saw a long thread in hacker related to vm_paging, but I could not find any conlusion to that thread. I did not see any MFC, other than a vm issue that needed to turn on by sysctl, that looked might be related. Any insight to this problem?
