I am not showing all zeros anymore, but who is to say that what I am seeing is correct ? My vmstat -i now yields: rtc irq8 29272122 66 and I am seeing a rate of 128 on normal systems. So maybe my top output is still wrong, even though it isn't all zeros. 2. What is to be done ? I have no reason to believe this won't crop up on 4.6.2 or later...does anyone else ? thanks. pat.
