Hello,
I have loaded two 5.1-RELEASE systems, both of them have PROCFS and
PSEUDOFS in the kernel, and yet neither of them have a procfs mounted.
There is no procfs line in /etc/fstab by default, and no procfs is mounted
on the system in any way.
Question 1: Is this intentional ? Is it no longer needed/recommended to
run a procfs ?
One of the systems, the one I am doing all the work on, is an SMP system,
and it keeps locking up on me - the lockups are always the same - things
are going fine, and suddenly a process fails to complete - maybe it is
"pwd", maybe I type :q! in "vi" and it just sticks there - either
way, randomly, processes just begin to lock up ... if I log in on another
session, I can see the PID, but I cannot kill it - I can kill -9 (PID) 100
times and it will still exist. Eventually the entire system will lock up,
although you can always ping the system.
Question 2: Is this because I am running without procfs ? Or have these
type of problems been seen in 5.1-RELEASE by other causes ?
thank!
