My Harddisk runs as U/DMA 100 with soft updates enabled. I used the time command to measure the time that FreeBSD needs to extract the actual ports collection (13MB) and it takes over 13 min to complete the task. But the user time was less then 1 second!!! i have the same problem while removing files. During the execution i used the top command and it figured out that the priority is -2 and sometimes -6. is that normal??? the state always switched between getblk and biowr The CPU idle is near 99% could anybody help me?
