Is anyone on this list running a Tor node on FreeBSD 6.1-RELEASE
or later with similar or higher load?
I am hitting the same issue still Fabian. I had that PR closed as
"works for me" with insignificant testing. I am still crashing (as
before) but maybe only once every week or two instead of every couple
hours with 6.1 RELEASE. The PR really should be reopened. Couple
other folk have emailed me with similiar issues offline (and also spoke
with it about me on IRC).
Well, having several people show similar problems will help track the issue
down, if only by letting us examine common aspects (ie, this happens on SMP
systems, it happens when people are using PF, or IPFW, it only happens to
people using vr0, or rl0, or some other specific NIC, etc).
I am still 99% sure this is NOT A TOR ISSUE!!! I have spoken with many
tor users on other platforms and the actual developers and this is not
seen by any of them. I can also recreate this crash NOT running tor
but just generating a heavy load with freenet and i2p.
It's probably not a TOR issue, no. I gather that you've already run the
manufacturer's hardware diagnostics and something like prime95 or memtest86
overnight or longer than 24 hours (ideally)...
My gut feeling is still a network code regression between 5.x -> 6.x with the
stack
rewrite. I am at a loss how to troubleshoot this anymore (as noted in
the PR and my earlier email). I truly hope somebody (e.g. a developer)
can shed some light on this issue or troubleshoot it.
It would also be interesting to know whether you can revert to running FreeBSD
5.5 on the same hardware under the same workload and have it stay up for longer.
Put your dmesg(s), kernel config files, /etc/make.conf, and best efforts at
logging the issue (serial console, running vmstat whatever or sysctl -a kern
via cron periodicly to a file), on a webpage someplace, and try to cross-link
with other people showing the same problem. Post that URL to a PR and/or the
mailing lists...
