Once makemandb has completed a run it shouldn't really use any more time next boot unless your manpages have changed. What size is your /var/db/man.db?

That’s what I thought too. The size doesn’t seem to have changed since May 16, and makemandb has run at least 10 times during that time. The size is close to 19 MB:

-rw-r--r-- 1 root wheel 18826240 May 16 17:41 man.db

That seems about the right size.

After taking a quick look at makemandb it will work through that sqlite db file and stat(2) every manpage on the system to see if they need updated.

I think small machines should not be running makemandb by default - see other email to port-mac68k@ for that thread :)

When its running is your machine paging? - run 'vmstat 5' and se if the 'po' column has consistent non zero numbers.

There are no pageouts (’vmstat’ is showing a row of zeros) before 'Building temporary file cache’ has finished, and then, according to ’top’, it will page out 6+ MB:

When its finished running you might want to try as root running 'makemandb -v' and see if it completes

Now, that seems to be the place where all the fun is happening:

makemandb -v

Alas, I wouldn’t know what to look for in those files…

A netbsd-6 box should have X11R7 - is this an upgrade and do you have a set of X files in both X11R6 and X11R7?

X forwarding works fine with the ’standard’ installation, though it would be nice to have color X. Would the ole, trusted color X server from 1.6.2 still run on this system?

It would be nice to get the colo(u)r code merged into the current tree - does anyone have the source to hand?

Thanks again!

Hoping someone speaks up on the colo(u)r X server... anyone? Beuller? :)
