4.9 SMP Stability?

[Stephen Bader]

Ok, I've been seeing this thread grow for a while, so I feel I must inform
you of my experience. I have 3 4.9 SNMP boxes, 2 of which are heavily
loaded. The only problem I've ever had was the PAE bug, and no other
problems. All 3 of my boxes have been up a long time, all running 4.9.

Box 1:
FreeBSD hostname 4.9-PRERELEASE FreeBSD 4.9-PRERELEASE #3: Sun
Sep 14 11:30:31 CDT 2003     hostname:/usr/obj/usr/src/sys/MERCSMP  i386

 6:55PM  up 212 days, 18:17, 2 users, load averages: 1.68, 2.19, 2.42

This box is running an Intel board with dual PIII 1.4s.

Box 2:

FreeBSD hostname 4.9-RC FreeBSD 4.9-RC #10: Mon Dec 15 12:24:41
CST 2003 hostname:/usr/obj/usr/src/sys/HALL  i386

 6:56PM  up 90 days,  6:04, 1 user, load averages: 1.38, 1.33, 1.29

Running Dual PII 400MHz on Asus board.

Box 3:

FreeBSD hostname 4.9-STABLE FreeBSD 4.9-STABLE #5: Wed Jan 14
18:53:14 CST 2004   hostname:/usr/obj/usr/src/sys/CACHE  i386

12:59AM  up 90 days,  6:05, 1 user, load averages: 0.00, 0.00, 0.00

Same specs as box 2.
