I ckeck my computer with vmstat -w 5 and I got:

I have all the time in the Process section "b" number 16. My system is FreeBSD 7.0 on the standalone computer (no server), cable connection to the Internet.

Thanks...

I open KDE now and vmstat shows the same.

I'm rather surprised by the inordinate amount of IO caused by Xorg (+ 50%). On my laptop, it's about 3%, the busiest process is firefox with 14%.

By the way, system output looks much better with CODE tags around it.

How many process do you have open? What do you think that I have wrong. please?

It's definitely something wrong with Xorg. Try to reinstall it completely

[DutchDaemon]

I have about 88 processes in top. No process is over 14% of total IO, and I have no blocking processes in vmstat (ever, I think). That doesn't mean I know what's wrong with your setup, but it is clear that something is blocking. I don't use KDE (anymore), but the number of kdeinit processes appears to suggest that a lot of KDE-related stuff is starting up or waiting to start up all the time, disk-bound stuff. Is your disk light burning all the time?

[lumiwa]

Is your disk light burning all the time?

No, it doesn't.

[lumiwa]

I will try. Thanks.

[lumiwa]

Is it possible that is something wrong with permissions, please?

[BuSerD]

Definitely not a permissions a permissions issue on the surface. As a matter of fact I am not certain that I see any issue with your output. The I/O number is a percentage of what is being used. That only shows that 50% of the I/O wait is due to xorg. If you want to lower that percentage remove any debugging or verbose logging that may be enabled. Mine runs at 92% but that is 92% of < 1 so I/O is not high but xorg is responsible for the majority of it. I installed it via a distribution set so it is not optimized or built from source for this machine. That may ultimately be your issue.

I see now. Sorry, I lost that during the read. Column b is pre-allocated proc cycles for i/o and other paging needs. I still don't see a problem but what are the specs of your machine? If the machine is older or the processor always shows > 0 in the b column you may want to try the previous suggests or swap to proc if possible just for testing.

Before I commented (disable) hal and dbus in rc.conf I had in the column "b" 16. It is in my first post.

Does same problem happens when not starting Xorg?
Looks like syncer have bunch things to do but your disk is slow. (Give some information about your disks)

Also try to play with:

kern.filedelay 30 time to delay syncing files
kern.dirdelay 29 time to delay syncing directories
kern.metadelay 28 time to delay syncing metadata


Read syncer(4) for more info.
Also you can add "noatime" flag to some of /etc/fstab entries.

Doesnt look like disk fault.

Post top and vmstat output from singleuser mode.

It is probably because usb is Giant locked and it is sharing irq resource with ethernet card.

Disable artsd from kde if that doesnt work also disable emu10kx0 driver.

Are you using OSS from ports?

A single user mode did try before and there are 0 0 0. No, I don't using OSS from ports. I will try what you suggested. Thank you very much.

I did and evrything is the same.
Would be better that I installe OSS from ports?

[richardpl]

I doubt that OSS will change anything if disabling sound did not fixed problem.
What usb devices are connected to computer ?
Do you have interrupts storm? (Look in dmesg output)

[Sylhouette]

this is from the freebsd gnome page

http://www.freebsd.org/gnome/docs/halfaq.html

i think if you want hal to run you will need procfs mounted

Step 1: All users MUST have procfs mounted on /proc. Hal uses an application called PolicyKit to authorize users to perform mount tasks, and PolicyKit relies heavily on /proc entries. If /proc is not mounted, volume mounting will not work. To mount /proc, add the following to /etc/fstab:

proc /proc procfs rw 0 0


Then run the following command:

# mount /proc



i do not know if this is also needed in KDE but it is worth a try

It is about one year as I have FreeBSD and I never had proc in fstab and I never ran hal. I installed hal when I tried KDE 4 (for sound).
Thank you.

After new installed FreeBSD 7.1 and with the same settings I have the same problem but I know "who is guilty". Problem is pflog.
I have in rc.conf:

Without pflog is okay. Are there any options to correct it, please?

Thanks.

[tingo]

Why don't you check the pflog man page to find out what options are available?
