Re: syslogd and bzip2 hogs after 6.3 to 7.0 upgrade
Hi, I've caught bzip2 misbehaving. The following top output is for compression of /var/log/messages (just over 100kB size) and it's not finished yet: 21172 root 1 1180 11360K 8248K RUN 11:02 100.00% bzip2 Over 11 minutes, and still going, at 100% CPU. Now that's definitely not right. Anyone else seeing this?

Hi, Kris Kennaway wrote: Again, it's not bzip2 that is your underlying problem. I can't see what else it could be. I watched newsyslog kick-in at 11:00UTC to rotate logs and that's what happened. There was no esoteric hardware access, e.g. writing to DVD, happening at the time so I'm at a loss to explain what's happening.

syslogd and bzip2 hogs after 6.3 to 7.0 upgrade
Hi, I have recently upgraded from RELENG_6_3 to RELENG_7_0 via the source method. I followed the upgrade instructions in the 7.0 release notes and rebuilt all ports successfully. My hardware is a VIA EPIA PD1 (VIA Centerhauls CPU) with gmirrored IDE disks and GELI encrypted swap (using padlock). My kernel is GENERIC with removal of 386, 486 and 585 CPU support and addition of options for: DEVICE_POLLING, HZ=1000, ALTQ, PFLOG, PFSYNC and QUOTA. I use PF for my firewalling and device polling on my two integrated Via Rhine NICs. This setup worked great under RELENG_6_2 and RELENG_6_3 (only for a short period due to RELENG_7_0 becoming available) with absolutely no issues whatever. Since upgrading to RELENG_7_0 I have a problem when the nightly rotation of logfiles occurs. A number of bzip2 processes appear which, with syslogd, consume huge amounts of CPU. Looking at the output of top I see that my interrupt CPU usage has increased to 46% and userland CPU usage to 44%. The remainder is system and there is no idle CPU time left. The bzip2 processes appear to be running very slowly. Looking at /var/log/ you can see the logfiles have been renamed but not compressed although, given a long time, I believe they will be. I must point out that I'm using SCHED_4BSD and not SCHED_ULE on this system. I am aware that ULE has been reported to suffer from this type of problem. I'm at a bit of a loss as to where to look next. At present I am rebuilding the kernel with i586 support just in case gcc-4.2.1 has introduced a code generation incompatibility that might affect my VIA CPU somehow. Any suggestions gratefully received. Please CC me as I'm not subscribed to the list.

Hi, Kris Kennaway wrote: This should be unrelated to bzip since that is purely CPU bound. What is causing the interrupts? Check vmstat -i. That is likely to be your real problem. The cause of the high interrupt incidence was failed DMA operations on my DVD-RW drive. The situation arose as follows: 1) My backup program executes at 11:30 UTC and uses growisofs to create a DVD on-the-fly. 2) newsyslog executes at 00:00 UTC and compresses the logfiles with bzip2. 3) The DVD-RW drive DMA errors appear. I've rebooted the system and watched cron execute newsyslog to rotate the logs. I have a bzip2 process that's consuming over 90% of CPU. That can't be normal?

isc-dhcp3 removed from ports
Hi, Doing pkg_version recently, I noticed that isc-dhcp3 has been removed from the ports collection. Why should such an important port be removed? I can't see that wide-dhcp provides the same degree of functionality e.g. dynamic zone updates with bind. Please CC me on responses as I'm not subscribed to this list.

Correct installer behaviour?
-BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE- Hash: SHA1 Hi, I am attempting to install FreeBSD-5.0-RELEASE onto a dual IDE disk system. I have created a single slice on each drive (ad0s1 and ad2s1) then attempted to create some disklabel partitions on each. For drive ad0 creating a FS partition gives ad0s1a and a SWAP partition gives ad0s1b - fine so far. For drive ad2 creating a FS partition gives ad2s1d and a SWAP partition gives ad2s1b - this seems odd. Why isn't the first partition on ad2 ad2s1a? Is this correct behaviour or is it a bug?

signal 6 after upgrade to 4.7
Hi, I've been running Jabber and the icqv7-t transport quite happily under 4.6(.x) but since upgrading to 4.7 i've been experiencing regular coredumps with a signal 6. The icqv7-t transport and it's dependencies (libsigc++ and libicq2000) are written in C++ which leads me to ask if anyone has experienced these errors with their programs compiled with the 4.7 C++ compiler?

IPFW2 on 4.7-RELEASE
Hi, Has anyone got IPFW2 working on 4.7-RELEASE? I've been using IPFW/natd successfully since 4.2 but my attempts to do the same with IPFW2 have failed. I added IPFW2=true to /etc/make.conf and options IPFW2 to my kernel config then rebuilt libalias, ipfw and my kernel. At boot I get the message output that natd has started but the boot process then stops at the point where it previously output Firewall Logging=YES to the console. My buildworld/installworld/mergemaster/MAKEDEV/buildkernel/installkernel etc. all executed without problems and things work as before using IPFW. Does anyone have any ideas or suggestions as to what's happening here?
