Hi,
I am having an issue with running OpenBSD on a Sunfire V40z. The server
run AMD dual core processors. I have tried a number of different
versions of OpenBSD and they all seem to have the same issues. One of
the builds I did fluked and it's working as expected but I have not been
able to duplicate it. I have checked the bios settings and versions. I
have matched the settings and versions of the firmware on the SCSI disk
controller. The hardware is the same. Below is a bunch of data. I
need to be able to build consistance servers. Please help.
The test:
To test I am using a tar ball that is 60.9M in size with 167,000 files
in it.
On the server that works:
# time tar -xzf test.tar.gz
0m12.79s real 0m0.56s user 0m0.85s system
On other servers:
# time tar -xzf mod_ssl-new.tar.gz
1m39.58s real 0m0.58s user 0m0.66s system
Disklabel output:
