I've noticed a strange thing seems to have happened in recent 2.2.,
uname:
FreeBSD ponds.water.net 2.2-970510-RELENG FreeBSD 2.2-970510-RELENG #0: Fri May
16 15:06:15 EDT 1997 rivers@lakes.water.net:/usr/src/sys-970510/compile/POND
S i386
My news machine is now taking more than 3 days to expire the news.
This is a 386dx-33 with ~1.5gig of IDE space...
Version 2.1.7 would expire everything in a matter of hours,
version 2.2-970510 on the same hardware takes days...
The uucp traffic hasn't increased (I run uutraf every day, the
number of bytes transferred remains fixed...)
In top - I see that expire seems to be spending the majority of
its time in biowait.
As a happen-stance though; this is the machine that suffers
from the 'daily panics'. It hasn't demonstrated that condition
since the expires began taking so long... could the two be related?
- Opinions? -
- Dave Rivers -
p.s. I'm open to suggestions as to how to speed this up. I'm already
using the async mount option... didn't seem to make much
difference...
