First of all, is this the right mailing list for issues with FreeBSD 5.0-Release? I apologize if it is not. I've installed it on an Athlon-500, and it's running quite well (except it seems a bit less performant than 4.x, but that's OK). However, I have two questions. 1. I have some shell scripts that make use of redirections with file descriptors (3>&1 and /dev/fd/3 etc.). Those worked under 4.x out of the box, but didn't work in 5.0, because there is no /dev/fd/3 in DEVFS. I solved this by manually mounting FDESCFS over /dev/fd -- is that the right solution, or is there a better way? 2. It seems that vmstat prints weird values: procs memory page disks faults cpu r b w avm fre flt re pi po fr sr ad0 md0 in sy cs us sy id 2 2 0 122848 23320 10 0 0 0 10 3 0 0 15852 0 1503 73 15 12 1 2 0 122848 22992 1 0 0 0 17 0 0 0 15911 0 1484 83 17 0 2 2 0 122848 22632 0 0 0 0 18 0 0 0 15916 0 1451 81 19 0 In particular, the "sy" (system calls) column is always zero, and the values in the "in" (interrupts) column are much too high. This machine is running with HZ=500, and "vmstat -i" reports a total interrupt rate of 628, which seems more reasonable.
