Hello everyone,
Can someone here shed some light on why my vmstat might have negative
values? If I understand the manpage correctly (and Henning and Phillipp's
paper on tuning), these values are nonsensical:
$ vmstat wd0 wd1 sd0
procs memory page disks traps
cpu
r b w avm fre flt re pi po fr sr wd0 wd1 sd0 int sys cs
us sy id
0 3 0 64360 16776 23 0 0 0 0 0 -14 -0 -0 43 4294967211
22 -1 -1 102
I'm comparing these values (from a very unbusy system) to a very busy
system, but I didn't think it would be negative-busy ;^)
This is on an i386 OpenBSD 4.0 system.
Thanks,
Dan
