MBuf use size problem on 4.8-RC
Hi, netstat -m produces following output on my machine, running 4.8-RC: 21732/22336/96000 mbufs in use (current/peak/max): 21732 mbufs allocated to data 20733/21260/24000 mbuf clusters in use (current/peak/max) 48104 Kbytes allocated to network (8% of mb_map in use) 0 requests for memory denied 0 requests for memory delayed 0 calls to protocol drain routines I tracked the percentage of mb_map in use. It reached 70% and then wrapped back to 0%. Why does it happen? A bug? There seems to be a problem with booting up 4.8-RC on a 4GB machine. The kernel reaching multiuser mode produces message about unability of allocating new u_map and panics. This is HyperThreading enabled machine (2+2logical CPUs). Any ideas?

Yes - I've enabled `Logical Processors' in BIOS. BIOS revision is the latest available. Any thoughts? I attach full dmesg and mptable output. Kernel config too. 5.0 doesn't support HyperThreading. The upcoming 5.1 and 4.8 releases will support it. Thanks. I didn't put tag=. in the supfile, but the default 5_0_RELENG. That's why it didn't work even after cvsup. Now it's all CURRENT, working stable and blazing fast. Even with SCHED_ULE :) All the best, /S To Unsubscribe: send mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with unsubscribe freebsd-current in the body of the message

Re: sysinstall + swap partition requirement

Well this doesn't make sense, since: 1. The system has perfectly fine 192MB of RAM, thus the installation should scceed anyway... 2. I intendid to use SWAP-over-vnode to work around GCC's template compilation eats RAM struggle. I guess this safety check is a leftover from the days where one had typically 16MB of RAM + 100MB of swap on a system... I don't know if anything has changed in 5.x, but VM in BSDs in general doesn't work too well without swap. Swap is useful for system crash gathering anyway. /S To Unsubscribe: send mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with unsubscribe freebsd-current in the body of the message
Adaptec 7899 on-board controller and 4.4-RC
I have 2 such controlers in a Dell 6400. Both did work on 4.3-STABLE, updated about 4 weeks ago. After upgrade to 4.4-RC none of them is detected during boot. Did the ahc driver `suffer' some dramatic changes lately? /S To Unsubscribe: send mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with unsubscribe freebsd-current in the body of the message
SCSI breakage
I'm having SCSI parity errors on Tekram 390F controller (CURRENT for Aug 1, the sym driver). During some heavier disk activity the kernel reports "Weird command received" and resets the controller after short period of time. Now I'm running CURRENT for Jul 31 without any problems... -- hundred-and-one symptoms of being an internet addict: 144.
