strange pf speed behaviour when doing bittorrent

hi there, all day today, my openbsd box (3.9 release) was dog slow to respond. after looking a bit, it seems that bittorrent (BitTorrent-4.2.2) is slowing it down, making pf choke. i don't do much torrenting and upload is limited to 30K. the moment i start any torrent that is also seeding, respo

external usb disk freezing machine

hi there, here i go again, describing usb problems. i am really not sure now if it is a) my external disk, b) openbsd, c) bios/motherboard/usb port that is giving me the headache... i am trying my luck here, and please find attached a most curious /var/log/messages snippet of one "from reboot ti

Re: external usb disk freezing machine (not always)

minor addition. i plugged in the disk today for testing, and left it there, and it didn't freeze. it played the on and off game for about 40m (sd0 detached 48 times) at which point the kernel disabled the port in question. so i cannot reproduce the crash every time. has anyone ever seen somethin

Re: external usb disk freezing machine

is there a way i can get more usb diagnostics? it seems that USBVERBOSE is on by default in the kernels. i would like to get some insight into what's happening when the disk (seemingly without reasons) detaches. some more tests yesterday: i used the disk without problems for more than 3 hours in w

kernel debug simple question

hi there, i am trying to troubleshoot a usb external disk. the disk detaches while mounted and used. how can i umount / before i am going to reboot? syncing cannot work in this case of course, but that leaves only the external disk in a dirty state, not my /, hence the question. is it possible t
