strange messages regarding my UFS partition

P

phpwolf

Hello,

First of all, I'm a new FreeBSD user, so please, don't hate me if I ask stupid things :)

I have a hdd lag when I try to open new applications or when bash tries to autocomplete some commands and/or when I type some text into the browser. From time to time, when something releated to hdd activity is made, the system doesn't respond for 2 - 3 seconds then the things are go back to normal. The "df" command, also, waits 3 - 5 seconds before show me the amout of free space on my partitions.

And I have a strange dmesg message - it seems to be something regarding my UFS partions.

Here is the fstab:

Code: 
# Device	Mountpoint	FStype	Options	Dump	Pass#
/dev/ada0s4a	/		ufs	rw	1	1
/dev/ada0s4b	none		swap	sw	0	0


Attached is my dmesg output message.

Please, help!

Cheers,
phpwolf

You really shouldn't run -CURRENT. Especially as a newbie. -CURRENT is a work in progress and at times doesn't even build.

It's not a requirement. But when you want help with a problem, making it as easy as possible to get the information encourages people to help and shows respect for their time.

Ok, I noticed that. Actually, I didn't find any help so far. Just unusefull advices who told me not to use something or use other thing.

I use CURRENT because old FreeBSD versions doesn't have kms support (9 has problems with kms and I found a lot of crashes with it). For me, this is a serious problem, because without kms my video card doesn't work and I use this FreeBSD box to develop multimedia applications, openGL based.

I don't use new stuff just for fun.
 
First of all, welcome (or how do they say it "bun venit").

Second of all, you have the WITNESS kernel option turned on (it;s on by default in -CURRENT). I would turn it off (recompile the kernel without this option) and then check the performance.

snippet from your dmesg:
Code: 
WARNING: WITNESS option enabled, expect reduced performance.

Also, it;s worth mentioning that if you have a SSD disk, you might wanna check out the TRIM support ;).

Happy hunting :).


LE (jokking): you shouldn;t use -CURRENT because SirDice sais so :P.

Issue solved, the WITNESS option was the problem. Thank you very much, da1 (or "multumesc" - the same thing, but in romanian language). To admin: the topic can now be closed.
