I have enabled logging in Gaim, and when a chat message arrives and it is logged the disk writing delays (freezes) the system for less than a second, it can be noticed for example with XMMS which does a strange sound during that period. I think this problem is related to the system and not the port, that's why I asked here. Also I guess more information is needed about this, like ktrace/truss output of Gaim together with kernel statistics (vmstat/iostat). But other than ktrace, I don't use them. What would be the commands to get the most relevant information about this? I am using FreeBSD 6.2-RELEASE, and the boot message is here (the file dmesg_machine_2.txt): http://people.freebsd.org/~alepulver/disk-crash.tar.bz2 I posted this in freebsd-hackers@ and got no answer, maybe this is the right place.
