A post on tech-kern has suggested that NetBSD has better performance on several aspects. I think FreeBSD should take some of their ideas. What’s more, I believe it’s more important to have something that is unique in FreeBSD, not doing what’s the equivalent because “Solaris have this” :-)
Yes I want to install FreeBSD on my Windows partition :-)
Sigh, I got this:
This doesn’t seem to be possible to my best of knowledge. What happend?
It’s 5.3-RELEASE-p2, and the panic string was: panic: pmap_enter: invalid page directory pdir=0xc1e063, va=0xffc00000
Finally NetBSD has released their 2.0-RELEASE, which is a significant progress of the NetBSD development.
NetBSD is widely known as the most portable operating system in the world. It currently supports fifty four different system architectures, all from a single source tree, and is always being ported to more. NetBSD 2.0 continues the long tradition with major improvements in file system and memory management performance, major security enhancements, and support for many new platforms and peripherals.
When I have loaded drm/radeon, my laptop will reboot right after X11 is going to start. Not known why this time… :-(
I have ported Matt’s patch to 4-STABLE however Matthew Seaman reports that there is still panic, while different, after the patch and I believe I should port Matt’s VM post-morti diagnostic tools to HEAD.
I have been suffered by the speed of GNOME because it usually gets “jitter”.
It seems that marcus@ have the same problem. I have tried HZ=100 but it seems that nothing was changed. Then I have disabled ACPI and it seems the issue was worked around.
What happend in ACPI, so? Still under investigate.
Matt has committed a critical VM fix and kindly reminded that FreeBSD has also the issue. I have ported the patch here and requested a review by Dr. Alan Cox. I’d like to commit it at once it is approved.
Today NetApplience folks has told me that Linux performance is twice better than FreeBSD when using em(4) driver, and they pointed out that the driver FreeBSD is using does not do a good job at this time. I have tried to tune some certain part of the kernel however the result is still not so good at the time I am writing.
It seems that FreeBSD and NetBSD have a lot of difference on busdma interfaces and this has blocked me from porting OpenBSD’s firmware upload support on mpt(4). Will have another attempt this weekend.
