I turned on debug.witness_ddb, but I'm not sure if this will help, because the system isn't locking up, or otherwise stopping. I have tried setting a breakpoint in ddb for 0xc4444ef0, but it starts breaking right away. The malloc() messages are many minutes apart. I'm not sure if these messages indicate anything critical. I was mainly concerned with the nfs performance. I tried reading the developer's handbook to figure out how to make it break only when there's a malloc message but right now I'm stuck. > > > Before I upgraded from 4.8, I used to be able to send at about 8mb/s to > > the nfs exported raid5.
