You can find out where in the kernel they're called by grepping for that name in /usr/src/sys. "ffsfsn", for example, is used in ffs_fsync(), so when you see that in top, it's probably because a program tried to fsync() a file. -- Dan Nelson dnelson@allantgroup.com To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
