Hello,

I am having large stability problems since running 4.2 as firewalls. I have 1x fxp and 2x dual box fxp cards, and after a while, the boxes freeze up, this was the last log of vmstat on the master machine:

procs   memory        page                    disks     traps         cpu
r b w avm fre flt re pi po fr sr wd0 fd0 int sys cs us sy id 021 0 47364 724 196 0 1 0 0 4 3 0 562 355 14 0 2 97

And on the secondary ( also frozen ):

procs   memory        page                    disks     traps         cpu
r b w avm fre flt re pi po fr sr wd0 fd0 int sys cs us sy id 0 6 0 13900 676 195 0 1 0 0 4 3 0 376 331 12 0 2 97


I went into ddb on the backup machine ( it was otherwise unresponsive ) and I saw a bunch of processes in the netio state.

So basically, im trying to figure out what the problem is, as I would rather fix it than move back to obsd 4.1 or something else. At the moment I am guessing that it has something to do with the fxp driver ( from plus42.html - For fxp(4) <http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/man.cgi?query=fxp&sektion=4&format=html>, nudge the interrupt coalescing timeout to 128 ms. Lessens the interrupt load on busy fxp(4) <http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/man.cgi?query=fxp&sektion=4&format=html> cards a lot. )

But I could be barking up the wrong tree.

Any suggestions/ideas?


Thanks,
   Josh
