Hey guys,
I have a pair of firewalls running fully patched OpenBSD 4.2. These are
DL140s and i have the optional quad gigabit ethernet card in them.
Now, whenever I use the GENERIC kernel, all is well. However, if I
switch to the GENERIC.MP kernel I lose connectivity and get em0:
watchdog timeout resetting messages.
According several messages I've read from Henning or Daniel in present
and @pf list, there are not any benefits in run PF with MP kernels (and
multi-processor boxes, of course). Even you can get a poor performance
that uni-processor kernel/box.
Is a design question.
