Relevant to my interests, too. I've followed the instructions on the wiki / in the handbook (on 9.0/9.1-PRE) and only receive error messages. Is DTrace supposed to be working properly on 9.x, or is it still experimental? It's nice to say that FreeBSD nominally supports DTrace, but if it doesn't actually work then it needs to be labelled as such. I am fine with it being experimental if that's the case, but saying so would help manage expectations a lot better. -- Thanks and best regards, Chris Nehren
