hello,
I am using netbsd-6-rc4 at a dell 1850. the server works only as router.
it is connected with an lacp port-channel (4*1gb) to a cisco catalyst
switch.
sometimes (1/day or more often) the system cpu usage increases to 300
percent or more. in some cases netbsd is frozen (also the kernel
debugger), in other cases netbsd continues to a normal work after some
minutes.
The top command shows the following:
load averages: 0.76, 0.77, 0.58; up 4+03:49:27 11:31:11
33 processes: 31 sleeping, 2 on CPU
CPU0 states: 6.2% user, 0.0% nice, 18.8% system, 11.2% interrupt, 63.9% idle
CPU1 states: 5.0% user, 0.0% nice, 12.8% system, 3.6% interrupt, 78.6% idle
Memory: 279M Act, 153M Inact, 6036K Wired, 20M Exec, 152M File, 296M Free
Swap: 4506M Total, 4506M Free
PID USERNAME PRI NICE SIZE RES STATE TIME WCPU CPU COMMAND
0 root 0 0 0K 6928K CPU/1 13:37 0.00% 277% [system]
464 root 43 0 316M 238M parked/0 21.4H 32.47% 32.47% named
.....
Any idea what the problem could be? The hardware is ok and the switch
does not show any abnormal network traffic.
Thank you for your efforts
Regards
Uwe
