8.0: OpenSSL stat()'s NLS 500+ times causing extreme system load

2009-12-10 Thread Linda Messerschmidt
We have a Nagios server (ports/net-mgmt/nagios) that has a lot of check_nrpe2 (ports/net-mgmt/nrpe2) checks. We recently upgraded the server it runs on to 8.0-STABLE (r199975). The performance has never been great, but now it's really atrocious and I'm trying to figure out what's going on. The

Where have all the vnodes gone?

2009-07-31 Thread Linda Messerschmidt
With the last few releases, I've noticed a distinct trend toward disappearing vnodes on one of the machines I look after. This machine isn't doing a whole lot. It runs a couple of small web sites, and once an hour it rsync's some files from one NFS mount to another, but the rsync doesn't stay

Local patches to ports?

2008-09-09 Thread Linda Messerschmidt
Hello, We use Apache 1.3 on FreeBSD and for a long time, we have maintained our own build process separate from the ports collection because we have some local patches. These are accounting patches, of interest to no one but us, so I have no chance of getting anyone upstream to ever adopt them,
