As for the load issue: The full cpu usage that I was seeing earlier
actually stops after a several minutes.
...
Is this genrandom
behavior anything out of the ordinary?
/dev/random normally runs at 100% cpu after booting, and whenever
its queue of random bytes is getting empty. Since it
When genrandom is running, stats shows a load of around 3000.
Otherwise, load is always around 2000.
what are the other two processes that are constantly
running?

I don't think so. Genrandom make me want to look at using the hardware
RNGs a few years ago, but then Intel killed firmware hub and the whole
idea kind of went away.
via has release the padlock documentation.
unfortunately one needs to enable floating point
and sse to use the padlock rng.
this is weird. So, to recap, your timezone is set correctly, and yet
you are four hours off.
A useful thing to do is cat /dev/time and see how it changes.
The time from lguest is simple: you read a 64-bit # which is time.
It's just like Xen that way.
Also, try this to test another issue:
date
i think it is weird too,
as far as i could mesure it, it took 60 seconds, here it is:
cpu% date sleep 60 date
Thu Aug 28 22:19:21 CET 2008
Thu Aug 28 22:20:22 CET 2008
cpu%
My timezones are all set up to be CET (host and plan9 guest), the hardware
clock is set to UTC. I am running vanilla

yep, i get exactly the same:
plan9:
% date
Thu Aug 28 23:40:17 CET 2008
Linux host:
$ date
Thu Aug 28 20:06:02 CEST 2008
even the time difference seems to be the same. strange!

Hi again,
A couple of updates: I'm getting the same cron messages and time
problems that John is seeing.

What's the time on your host (Linux) look like? Are you sure it's not
a time zone setup issue?
Is it always four hours?

The problem looks similar to this:

I don't think so.

both the excessive load and these messages sound like a timesync problem.
yeah, that's really weird. One option is to set up the kernels without
any fancy timers -- just use the old PC timers.
do you think that's the problem?
time jumping backwards doesn't seem like something that could

good to know. I probably jumped to the wrong conclusion.

Hello again,
Well, i don't think I am starting two timesync, ps a shows only one:
cpu% ps a |grep timesync
bootes 770:00 0:00 92K Preadtimesync
I also can not write to /dev/rtc, so the timesync part of cpurc fails, this
part in particular
=snip
if(! ps|grep -s
Well, i don't think I am starting two timesync, ps a shows only one:
If Xen is anything to go by, time keeping is a problem in
virtualisation. And Erik is misguiding you :-)
Thing is, if timesync is wresting with the clock as it seems to do if
two instances are running, it does consume a lot
Hello.
For one timesync couldn't write to the rtc, so I commented out the lines in
cpurc.
Well, here timesync is not the problem, time is reported incorrectly, and I do
not really know how to set it. I tried echoing unix time into '#r' and
/dev/rtc, with no luck:
$sysname# ls -l /dev/rtc
I just realized that even one timesync is too much. You should not
run any at all. The hardware clock is set from Linux and I don't even
allow it to be set. It makes no sense to do that.
So don't let timesync run.
thanks

Hi all,
I'd like to set up a cpu/auth/file server for my home network. I
already have a laptop server running Ubuntu 8.04, so the idea is to
also get Plan 9 running on it, via lguest. It's mostly working, but
I'm encountering a few problems.
Here's what I've done so far (maybe it's excessive
OK, I see this note and am sorry this is not working well for you. I
will try again this week to get this going.
It's harder now as I'm now on a 64-bit machine and 64-bit lguest is not there.
But I'll try to get you an answer.
Sorry
ron
