Are you still seeing it? I am not still seeing it; the machine has since been switched to AMD 64, an= d=20 RAM increased from 1 GB to 3 GB (and FreeBSD itself upgraded several times= =20 since then). I did not look into it in terrible detail; I just observed by= =20 tracing that the I/O in question was definitely the package database, and=20 that it was definitely accessing the same files mutiple times. I assumed it= =20 was a caching effect at the time, given all the maxvnode tweaking and sizin= g=20 restrictions put on the ARC. I do know I never saw it after the memory=20 increase. Also, this might have been prior to disabling prefetch. If it was, perhaps = the=20 prefetch hosed the cache.
