Hello, I have performance issues on a OpenBSD 4.4 firewall. CPU load is OK (always below 50%), but system load is always between 1 and 1.5, it may go up to 2 sometimes.
I suspected an I/O problem on the HDD because of pflogd, so I shut it down and the system load is always as high. Could you tell me what should I upgrade to solve this ? And what "Debug: Urgent" means ? Thank you Stats of PF : # pfctl -si Status: Enabled for 29 days 15:27:29 Debug: Urgent State Table Total Rate current entries 16592 searches 36113459933 14099.9/s inserts 286242425 111.8/s removals 286225833 111.8/s Counters match 794705461 310.3/s bad-offset 0 0.0/s fragment 6 0.0/s short 0 0.0/s normalize 272 0.0/s memory 0 0.0/s bad-timestamp 0 0.0/s congestion 6494 0.0/s ip-option 12 0.0/s proto-cksum 1 0.0/s state-mismatch 107543 0.0/s state-insert 10966 0.0/s state-limit 18 0.0/s src-limit 0 0.0/s synproxy 0 0.0/s dmesg : # cat /var/run/dmesg.boot OpenBSD 4.4 (GENERIC) #1021: Tue Aug 12 17:16:55 MDT 2008 dera...@i386.openbsd.org:/usr/src/sys/arch/i386/compile/GENERIC cpu0: Intel(R) Xeon(TM) CPU 2.80GHz ("GenuineIntel" 686-class) 2.80 GHz cpu0: FPU,V86,DE,PSE,TSC,MSR,PAE,MCE,CX8,APIC,SEP,MTRR,PGE,MCA,CMOV,PAT,PSE36,CFLUS H,DS,ACPI,MMX,FXSR,SSE,SSE2,SS,HTT,TM,SBF,SSE3,MWAIT,DS-CPL,CNXT-ID,CX16,xTPR real mem = 1073053696 (1023MB) avail mem = 1029165056 (981MB) mainbus0 at root bios0 at mainbus0: AT/286+ BIOS, date 09/22/05, BIOS32 rev. 0 @ 0xffe90, SMBIOS rev. 2.3 @ 0xf9920 (87 entries) bios0: vendor Dell Computer Corporation version "A04" date 09/22/2005 bios0: Dell Computer Corporation PowerEdge 1850 acpi0 at bios0: rev 0 acpi0: tables DSDT FACP APIC SPCR HPET MCFG acpi0: wakeup devices PCI0(S5) PALO(S5) PBLO(S5) VPR0(S5) PBHI(S5) VPR1(S5) PICH(S5) acpitimer0 at acpi0: 3579545 Hz, 24 bits acpihpet0 at acpi0: 14318179 Hz acpiprt0 at acpi0: bus 0 (PCI0) acpiprt1 at acpi0: bus 1 (PALO) acpiprt2 at acpi0: bus 2 (DOBA) acpiprt3 at acpi0: bus 3 (DOBB) acpiprt4 at acpi0: bus 4 (PBLO) acpiprt5 at acpi0: bus 8 (VPR0) acpiprt6 at acpi0: bus 5 (PBHI) acpiprt7 at acpi0: bus 6 (PXB1) acpiprt8 at acpi0: bus 7 (PXB2) acpiprt9 at acpi0: bus 9 (PICH) acpicpu0 at acpi0 bios0: ROM list: 0xc0000/0xb000!
