I ran into a weird one, have a 9.1 test system (virtual in VMWare
Workstation 9) that I left running logged into the console with top
running. The console the top process it was running appear to have
hung, can't use ALT + F1,F2... to switch virtual consoles. However I
can log in to the system via ssh, if you run top you get the same
information on the console, can even interact with it, switching
search order and the like. systat also seems to not display current
information. I can do everything I have tried through the console
except I noticed that syslog isn't writing data and a
/etc/rc.d/syslog
restart hung as well.
This is just a test system running one single Java program (Ubiquiti
UniFi controller software) that is responding just fine as well.
Thought maybe it was disk access related, however I have confirmed
that I can read and write to the disk, used dd if=/dev/random
of=/.../random.out..., to each file system and was able to write to
all of them. Before I reboot the system (I have a feeling it won't
reboot cleanly), I was curious if anyone else has ever seen this and
what I should check to possibly identify what caused the problem.
Might have discovered its probable related to
<http://docs.freebsd.org/cgi/getmsg.cgi?fetch=294987+0+archive/2012/freebsd-stable/20120805.freebsd-stable>
as I noticed as well that that date command was always returning
yesterdays date with the time set the same as top returned.
I went ahead and reset the virtual machine with the sysctl value set as
listed in the thread linked to above. will see if I hit the issue again
or not. Though this application will be moved off this test system to
my actual serve as soon as the 9.1-Release is official. so it may not
be running long enough to know if that is the real solution.
