Unfortunately, to make this useful over the serial console, you need to shut up all the sio lock messages. Hmmm, well for now try just using a 'debug.ktr.mask' of 0x1200 to skip all the mutex operations. If we need them later on, then I will try and get some other work done to make it easier to shut up certain mutexes in the log output without having to change each individual mutex operation. -- John Baldwin -- http://www.FreeBSD.org/~jhb/ PGP Key: http://www.baldwin.cx/~john/pgpkey.asc "Power Users Use the Power to Serve!" - http://www.FreeBSD.org/ To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-current" in the body of the message
