FreeBSD 9-STABLE + htop

alie · Oct 12, 2011

Hi guys,

Anyone getting this issue:

htop unable to list down all running processes

arp242 · Oct 12, 2011

Do you have linprocfs mounted?

Yes and here is my fstab

Code:

/dev/ad10s1a            /                       ufs             rw              1       1
linproc                 /usr/compat/linux/proc  linprocfs       rw              0       0
proc                    /proc                   procfs          rw              0       0

your /etc/fstab says exactly nothing about what is currently mounted. Use the mount(8) command to check what is currently mounted.

I don't know if this is your problem, but on my FreeBSD 9 machine I can't mount linprocfs (?) It gives me an error.

DutchDaemon · Oct 12, 2011

I'm pretty sure the mount must be called linprocfs, not linproc.

MarcoB · Oct 12, 2011

I had this too with htop on 8-STABLE i386, so I deinstalled it. Linprocfs is mounted btw.

Code:

root@fbsd(~)# mount
/dev/ad10s1a on / (ufs, local)
devfs on /dev (devfs, local, multilabel)
linprocfs on /usr/compat/linux/proc (linprocfs, local)
procfs on /proc (procfs, local)

derivativo · Oct 20, 2011

I'm also with this problem on 8.2-STABLE.

AASoft · Oct 22, 2011

Same problem, 8.2-STABLE as well as derivativo. linprocfs mounted, yes.
If it matters, I have the "linux_base-f10" port installed, perhaps I need the "fc4" one instead?

MarcoB · Oct 22, 2011

Before the latest update of htop it worked fine with f10.

alie · Nov 11, 2011

This issue still exist in 9.0-RC2

Twister · Jan 26, 2012

htop is working fine

Hello!

I have this in kernel config:

Code:

##########################################################
# ABI Emulation

# Enable 32-bit runtime support for FreeBSD/i386 binaries.
options         COMPAT_FREEBSD32

# Enable 32-bit Linux ABI emulation 
# (requires COMPAT_43 and COMPAT_FREEBSD32)
options         COMPAT_LINUX32

# Enable the linux-like proc filesystem support 
# (requires COMPAT_LINUX32 and PSEUDOFS)
options         LINPROCFS

# Enable the linux-like sys filesystem support 
# (requires COMPAT_LINUX32 and PSEUDOFS)
options         LINSYSFS

# Linux-specific pseudo devices support
device          lindev

I think htop needs this

da1 · Feb 8, 2012

I think you need linprocfs mounted under /usr/compat/linux/proc and not somewhere else.

oliwiak82 · Feb 11, 2012

@Twister
I have recompiled kernel with those options, and still htop does not show process list.

@da1
As you can see from my previews post I have mounted linprocfs under /usr/compat/linux/proc

@all
Any other ideas?

unull · Feb 15, 2012

According to linprocfs(5) linproc should be mounted to /compat/linux/proc.

I have the same issue with htop in 9.0 RELEASE.

In root /compat is symbolic link to /usr/compat

This is not the case on my fresh 9.0 installation. Is that maybe a left-over from an upgrade?

May be.
My installation was fresh too. I have created this links.

Hello

Code:

[root@forteca /]# ls -la |grep compat
lrwxr-xr-x   1 root  wheel       10 Apr 17  2011 compat -> usr/compat

unull · Feb 20, 2012

oliwiak82 said:

As I said before, this is most likely a left-over from pre 9.0.

Anyway, even moving /compat to /usr/compat and creating a symlink from /compat to /usr/compat does not fix the issue with htop (or any other tool that relies on linprocfs to gather process stats, for example utop)

Show please

And

This is mine.
