I'm running into a problem where sysctl -a seems to hang up the machine. This occurs (I think) when the amount of kernel memory is low(?). For example, as I bump up my nmbclusters number, I will run into this problem (somewhere around 128K nmbclusters for me). $ sysctl -a ... vm.stats.vm.v_kthreadpages: 0 vm.stats.misc.zero_page_count: 196962 vm.stats.misc.cnt_prezero: 201588 vm.max_proc_mmap: 43690 vm.msync_flush_flags: 3 vm.max_launder: 32 vm.pageout_stats_max: 7208 vm.pageout_full_stats_interval: 20 vm.pageout_stats_interval: 5 vm.pageout_stats_free_max: 5 vm.swap_idle_enabled: 0 vm.defer_swapspace_pageouts: 0 vm.disable_swapspace_pageouts: 0 vm.pageout_lock_miss: 0 and then the machine hangs. You can still ping it, but nothing works, ^C on that shell doesn't do anything, can't ssh new connections in, etc. It always hangs after the same variable (vm.pageout_lock_miss). Any suggestions? Anybody else seen anything similar? This is with 4.6-STABLE. --don To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-stable" in the body of the message
