(I never did a buildworld or buildkernel on this machine after installing from the release build and using freebsd-update.) I try to remember next time. > On Tue, 18 May 2010, Jan Henrik Sylvester wrote: >> I have upgraded almost all of my machines from i386 to amd64 and would >> like to repeat the OpenAFS testing -- even though you suspect it is >> SMP, which applies to all machines available to me. On amd64, the listing of the directories was instant unlike on i386. Reading (small) files caused no problems, but I was able to crash the machine accessing some weird entry (some object that OpenAFS on Linux shows with "?" for the file permissions) and -- more realistically -- deadlock all access to afs upon trying to copy a large file to afs. > I expect that you will find AFS more usable if you set > kern.smp.disabled=1 in /boot/loader.conf, which will make your machine > effectively single-processor. I just tried that and copying a large file to afs caused a deadlock of afs, too. I guess it is not just SMP. I have not tried copying smaller files or starting afsd with different parameters than suggested in the ports README (-dynroot -fakestat-all -afsdb -memcache -daemons 4). Cheers, Jan Henrik
