i have a problem with FreeBSD-10.
To make it more probable one have to
1) reduce maxbcache. eg
kern.maxbcache=50000000
in loader.conf
but NOT doing this doesn't make problem disappear. it is just more rare.
2) use swap. But you don't need system that swaps heavily. Probably - it
may not swap at all.
3) do lots of I/O
4) it is more often if you use virtualbox, but still - it is not required,
just make problem more common.
The problem. At random moment system I/O stops. If you are running top at
this moment, there are lots of prosesses stalled in vnread or biord.
network keeps running, processes that doesn't need I/O still runs.
top often reports at least 10MB free memory.
seems like a deadlock. Anyone know that problem. How to trace it down?
