vmstat hang on Sol10 on Niagara
we have several Niagara box running Solaris 10 with vxvm 4.1. The vmstat hang for very long time before give output.
Using truss with vmstat, I found vmstat looping on :
-
stat("/dev/osa/dev/dsk", 0xFFBFF620)Err#2 ENOENT
stat("/dev/dsk", 0xFFBFF620)= 0
stat("/dev/md/dsk", 0xFFBFF620)Err#2 ENOENT
stat("/dev/rmt", 0xFFBFF620)= 0
open("/devices/pseudo/devinfo@0:devinfo", O_RDONLY) = 4
ioctl(4, 0xDF82, 0x00000000)= 57311
ioctl(4, 0xDF07, 0xFFBFF22C)= 5567640
ioctl(4, 0xDF80, 0x004C0000)= 5570560
close(4)= 0

I am not sure what it is doing. What vmstat waiting for?
"/dev/osa/dev/dsk" and "/dev/md/dsk" do not exist.
