Thanks for your quick reply:
master.passwd is only 9467 (with a ls-l)
I would try the change to /etc/nsswitch.conf so that group and passwd read
group: files
passwd: files
At that file size, it sounds like you only have about 200 entries
? I doubt its the issue, but its worth a try. I know at around
9,000 files anything to do with UID lookups (e.g. ls -l) takes forever.
PID USERNAME VCSW IVCSW READ WRITE FAULT TOTAL PERCENT
COMMAND
54 root 2 0 0 7 0 7 100.00% syncer
Do you have any other special tuning other than polling ? Any in
/boot/loader.conf or /etc/sysctl.conf ?
Does gstat show the disks busy ?
