Interesting Fact Of The Day: I just noticed that the syncer process is eating up heaps of CPU, (5%-10% continuously, even when the system is idle and there is *no* disk activity), and that running sync(1) hangs the machine for a couple of seconds and causes sio and kbd interrupts to be lost. Maybe the removal of vm_mtx is the culprit? DES -- Dag-Erling Smorgrav - des@ofug.org To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe cvs-all" in the body of the message
