For example, doing cp with a lot of really big files caused XFree86 to freeze while the file transfer was taking place. The file transer was not affected in any way during the "freeze". It seems like the multi-tasking is affected with heavy disk activity. I've got softupdates enabled, if that helps. This problem just cropped up about 2 days ago or sooner. I've attached my dmesg. I've never seen this problem before. Maybe there was a change made to the scheduler and/or ata driver? - Donn --0-867867655-976255063=:437 Content-Type: TEXT/PLAIN; charset=US-ASCII; name="dmesg.out" Content-Transfer-Encoding: BASE64 Content-ID: <Pine.BSF.4.21.0012080057430.437@lcl12.cvzoom.net> Content-Description: Content-Disposition: attachment; filename="dmesg.out" Q29weXJpZ2h0IChjKSAxOTkyLTIwMDAgVGhlIEZyZWVCU0QgUHJvamVjdC4N CkNvcHlyaWdodCAoYykgMTk3OSwgMTk4MCwgMTk4MywgMTk4NiwgMTk4OCwg MTk4OSwgMTk5MSwgMTk5MiwgMTk5MywgMTk5NA0KCVRoZSBSZWdlbnRzIG9m IHRoZSBVbml2ZXJzaXR5IG9mIENhbGlmb3JuaWEuIEFsbCByaWdodHMgcmVz ZXJ2ZWQuDQpGcmVlQlNEIDQuMi1TVEFCTEUgIzA6IFdlZCBEZWMgIDYgMTU6 MzA6NDMgRVNUIDIwMDANCiAgICBkbW1pbGxlckBsY2wxMi5jdnpvb20ubmV0 Oi91c3Ivb2JqL3Vzci9zcmMvc3lzL0NVU1RPTQ0KVGltZWNvdW50ZXIgImk4 MjU0IiAgZnJlcXVlbmN5IDExOTMxODIgSHoNCkNQVTogUGVudGl1bS9QNTVD ICgxNjYuNDUtTUh6IDU4Ni1jbGFzcyBDUFUpDQogIE9yaWdpbiA9ICJHZW51 aW5lSW50ZWwiICBJZCA9IDB4NTQzICBTdGVwcGluZyA9IDMNCiAgRmVhdHVy ZXM9MHg4MDAxYmY8RlBVLFZNRSxERSxQU0UsVFNDLE1TUixNQ0UsQ1g4LE1N WD4NCnJlYWwgbWVtb3J5ICA9IDYyOTE0NTYwICg2MTQ0MEsgYnl0ZXMpDQph dmFpbCBtZW1vcnkgPSA1Nzg4ODc2OCAoNTY1MzJLIGJ5dGVzKQ0KUHJlbG9h ZGVkIGVsZiBrZXJuZWwgImtlcm5lbCIgYXQgMHhjMDM1NzAwMC4NCkludGVs IFBlbnRpdW0gZGV0ZWN0ZWQsIGluc3RhbGxpbmcgd29ya2Fyb3VuZCBmb3Ig RjAwRiBidWcNCm1kMDogTWFsbG9jIGRpc2sNCm5weDA6IDxtYXRoIHByb2Nl c3Nvcj4gb24gbW90aGVyYm9hcmQNCm5weDA6IElOVCAxNiBpbnRlcmZhY2UN CnBjaWIwOiA8SG9zdCB0byBQQ0kgYnJpZGdlPiBvbiBtb3RoZXJib2FyZA0K cGNpMDogPFBDSSBidXM+IG9uIHBjaWIwDQppc2FiMDogPFNpUyA4NWM1MDMg UENJLUlTQSBicmlkZ2U+IGF0IGRldmljZSAxLjAgb24gcGNpMA0KaXNhMDog PElTQSBidXM+IG9uIGlzYWIwDQphdGFwY2kwOiA8U2lTIDU1OTEgQVRBMzMg Y29udHJvbGxlcj4gcG9ydCAweGQwMDAtMHhkMDBmLDB4ZDQwMC0weGQ0MDMs MHhkODAwLTB4ZDgwNywweGUwMDAtMHhlMDAzLDB4ZTQwMC0weGU0MDcgaXJx IDExIGF0IGRldmljZSAxLjEgb24gcGNpMA0KYXRhMDogYXQgMHgxZjAgaXJx IDE0IG9uIGF0YXBjaTANCmF0YTE6IGF0IDB4MTcwIGlycSAxNSBvbiBhdGFw Y2kwDQplZDA6IDxORTIwMDAgUENJIEV0aGVybmV0IChSZWFsVGVrIDgwMjkp PiBwb3J0IDB4YjgwMC0weGI4MWYgaXJxIDEyIGF0IGRldmljZSAxMC4wIG9u IHBjaTANCmVkMDogYWRkcmVzcyAwMDpjMDpkZjplZDowYjoxNywgdHlwZSBO RTIwMDAgKDE2IGJpdCkgDQpwY2kwOiA8U2lTIDU1OTcvOTggU1ZHQSBjb250 cm9sbGVyPiBhdCAxOS4wIGlycSAxMQ0KZmRjMDogPE5FQyA3MjA2NUIgb3Ig Y2xvbmU+IGF0IHBvcnQgMHgzZjAtMHgzZjUsMHgzZjcgaXJxIDYgZHJxIDIg b24gaXNhMA0KZmRjMDogRklGTyBlbmFibGVkLCA4IGJ5dGVzIHRocmVzaG9s ZA0KZmQwOiA8MTQ0MC1LQiAzLjUiIGRyaXZlPiBvbiBmZGMwIGRyaXZlIDAN CmF0a2JkYzA6IDxLZXlib2FyZCBjb250cm9sbGVyIChpODA0Mik+IGF0IHBv cnQgMHg2MCwweDY0IG9uIGlzYTANCmF0a2JkMDogPEFUIEtleWJvYXJkPiBm bGFncyAweDEgaXJxIDEgb24gYXRrYmRjMA0Ka2JkMCBhdCBhdGtiZDANCm1z ZTA6IDxCdXMvSW5Qb3J0IE1vdXNlPiBhdCBwb3J0IDB4MjNjLTB4MjNmIGly cSAzIG9uIGlzYTANCnZnYTA6IDxHZW5lcmljIElTQSBWR0E+IGF0IHBvcnQg MHgzYzAtMHgzZGYgaW9tZW0gMHhhMDAwMC0weGJmZmZmIG9uIGlzYTANCnNj MDogPFN5c3RlbSBjb25zb2xlPiBhdCBmbGFncyAweDEwMCBvbiBpc2EwDQpz YzA6IFZHQSA8MTYgdmlydHVhbCBjb25zb2xlcywgZmxhZ3M9MHgzMDA+DQpz aW8wIGF0IHBvcnQgMHgyZTgtMHgyZWYgaXJxIDEwIGZsYWdzIDB4MTAgb24g aXNhMA0Kc2lvMDogdHlwZSAxNjU1MEENCnNpbzIgYXQgcG9ydCAweDNlOC0w eDNlZiBpcnEgNCBvbiBpc2EwDQpzaW8yOiB0eXBlIDE2NTUwQQ0KcHBjMDog PFBhcmFsbGVsIHBvcnQ+IGF0IHBvcnQgMHgzNzgtMHgzN2YgaXJxIDcgb24g aXNhMA0KcHBjMDogU01DLWxpa2UgY2hpcHNldCAoRUNQL0VQUC9QUzIvTklC QkxFKSBpbiBDT01QQVRJQkxFIG1vZGUNCnBwYzA6IEZJRk8gd2l0aCAxNi8x Ni8xNiBieXRlcyB0aHJlc2hvbGQNCnBwaTA6IDxQYXJhbGxlbCBJL08+IG9u IHBwYnVzMA0KbHB0MDogPFByaW50ZXI+IG9uIHBwYnVzMA0KbHB0MDogSW50 ZXJydXB0LWRyaXZlbiBwb3J0DQpwbGlwMDogPFBMSVAgbmV0d29yayBpbnRl cmZhY2U+IG9uIHBwYnVzMA0Kc2JjMTogPEVTUyBFUzE4Njg+IGF0IHBvcnQg MHgyMjAtMHgyMmYsMHgzODgtMHgzOGIsMHgzMzAtMHgzMzEgaXJxIDUgZHJx IDEsMCBvbiBpc2EwDQpwY20xOiA8RVNTIDE4eHggRFNQPiBvbiBzYmMxDQpC UklER0UgOTkwODEwLCBoYXZlIDEwIGludGVyZmFjZXMNCi0tIGluZGV4IDEg IHR5cGUgNiBwaHkgMCBhZGRybCA2IGFkZHIgMDAuYzAuZGYuZWQuMGIuMTcN CmFkMDogMzA5M01CIDxGVUpJVFNVIE1QQjMwMzJBVFU+IFs2NzA0LzE1LzYz XSBhdCBhdGEwLW1hc3RlciBVRE1BMzMNCmFkMTogMTA0ME1CIDxNMTYxNFRB PiBbMjExNC8xNi82M10gYXQgYXRhMC1zbGF2ZSBXRE1BMg0KYWNkMDogQ0RS T00gPEJDRC0yNFggMTk5Ny0wNi0yNz4gYXQgYXRhMS1tYXN0ZXIgdXNpbmcg V0RNQTINCk1vdW50aW5nIHJvb3QgZnJvbSB1ZnM6L2Rldi9hZDBzMWENCg== --0-867867655-976255063=:437-- To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-stable" in the body of the message
