If anyone knows of a fix for this, outside of downgrading to 6.0 please let me know. It's for sure a nusiance when I have half dozen other machines that NFS to that server. I don't have em0, but do have fxp0, and am seeing massive CPU if I do something like a du on the NFS mount. --- Howard Leadmon http://www.leadmon.net > -----Original Message----- > From: owner-freebsd-stable@freebsd.org > [mailto:owner-freebsd-stable@freebsd.org] On Behalf Of Rong-en Fan > Sent: Monday, May 15, 2006 9:24 PM > To: stable@freebsd.org > Subject: Re: 6.1-RELEASE, em0 high interrupt rate and nfsd > eats lots of cpu > > On 5/15/06, Dmitriy Kirhlarov wrote: > > On Mon, May 15, 2006 at 02:15:08PM -0400, Rong-en Fan wrote: > > > Hi, > > > > > > After upgrading from 5.5-PRERELEASE to 6.1-RELEASE on one > nfs server > > > today, I noticed that the load is very high, ranging from 4.x to > > > 30.x, depends how many nfsd I run.
