Before I rebooted I > was seeing numbers ranging up to 25000/s. So this happened again today. However I didn't manage to run "systat vm" and see if there was an interrupt storm again, and if so what device it was from. But neither did I have to reboot. It lasted long enough and strong enough to kill all my X11 connections, though by the time emacs was dumping core (as it always does when it loses touch with the X11 server), NFS was running well enough to store the core files. I was in the midst of trying to login on the console to investigate further when things seemed to have returned to normal. The console isn't fully usable though -- I see output sent to it, but I can't seem to send anything to the getty running on it. I'm not yet sure if this is a conserver, xen, or NetBSD problem. This time there were occasional "xennet0: xennet_watchdog" messages too. There's one other possibly related symptom -- sometimes X11 clients running on this host seem to have trouble painting characters, particularly "links" (but it has no trouble displaying images or scrolling images). Unfortunately I have not thought to check for a slightly less voracious interrupt storm while this symptom is present, but hopefully I will remember to do so next time it appears. Until now I've thought this might be some kind of problem with volumes of network traffic interfering with the font server, though I've not observed any truly excessive network traffic. -- Greg A.
