Interesting. Is there a way to 'lock' CPU's so that they always run on 'another' CPU ? Unfortunately as we speak the server is down again :( This all makes me wonder wether I should simply go back to 4.10. I decreased the maximum number of apache children to 1400 and the server seems to be barely holding on: last pid: 2483; load averages: 75.77, 28.63, 11.40 up 0+00:04:32 19:35:07 1438 processes:2 running, 294 sleeping, 1142 lock CPU states: 6.2% user, 0.0% nice, 62.6% system, 7.5% interrupt, 23.8% idle Mem: 698M Active, 27M Inact, 209M Wired, 440K Cache, 96M Buf, 1068M Free Swap: 512M Total, 512M Free Are there anymore quite stable things to do ? That is except for upping to current, which I frankly feel is too dangerous... -- Ali Niknam <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> | tel 0182-504424 | fax 0182-504460 Transip B.V. | http://www.transip.nl/ | Mensen met verstand van zaken. _______________________________________________ [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-hackers To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"
