All, Anyone use mutex_owner in a dtrace script, as the obvious does not work for me:     Content of spin.d: #!/usr/sbin/dtrace -qs :::*spin { self->mutex = (kmutex_t *) arg0; self->mutex_owner = mutex_owner((kmutex_t *) :self->mutex); } # dtrace -s spin.d dtrace: failed to compile scri

Can someone explain exactly what phys_free is telling me, I understand the three pools (DEFAULT, DIRECT and CACHE) and 13 orders of pages. But what does lcnt represent? [root@sn12 ~]# sysctl vm.phys_free vm.phys_free: FREE LIST 0: ORDER (SIZE) | NUMBER | POOL 0 |

2011-02-15 Thread Dr. Baud
I've an interesting anomaly I'd appreciate some help with. As a result of looking at a threading problem I modified gcore to dump all memory segments associated with a process; basically comment out the "Ignore" conditional in readmap(). The result is that the box spontaneously reboots so
