Many thanks, that seems to be working now (at least, the machine hasn't
crashed in 6 hours or so, which is one hell of a lot better than
previously :)
And now, for another query.
With the current -current, pstat -T falls over as follows:
aleste 101# pstat -T
179/4136 files
pstat: sysctl: KERN_VNODE: No such file or directory
with a little bit of tracking down, this would appear to be because
of the following code in sys/kern/vfs_subr.c, line 1858:
----------------------------------------------------------------------
/*
* XXX
* Exporting the vnode list on large systems causes them to crash.
* Exporting the vnode list on medium systems causes sysctl to coredump.
*/
#if 0
SYSCTL_PROC(_kern, KERN_VNODE, vnode, CTLTYPE_OPAQUE|CTLFLAG_RD,
0, 0, sysctl_vnode, "S,vnode", "");
#endif
----------------------------------------------------------------------
This isn't really a big problem for me, since I only use pstat -T
as a way of tracking swap file usage, and I can use swapinfo instead,
but I'm a little confused as to why something that *seemed* to work
flawlessy in 2.2.2-RELEASE has been commented out in 3.0-CURRENT.
