Ever since I upgraded from FN.7.2, which was largely successful, I have noticed that my load averages are consistently elevated. It's as though my NAS is running a bit of a fever, but the CPU is obviously not being taxed, and everything seems to be working normally.
Even while not in use, Load averages are {0.58 0.61 0.60} or something similar. It varies, although the 1 minute segment rarely shows over .9 or under .4. At the same time, my CPU has throttled back to 600 mhz or even less at times due to the low demand. I can't figure it out.
I began researching and found little or nothing helpful, since I can see that there are no busy processes. I went back and took a look a the edited config file and found something interesting.
It appears that I reassigned the drive configs correctly in teh .xml, but I never made corresponding changes to the vdev section. Disks were ada0, ada1, ada2, and ada3 but the vdevs were showing ad4, ad6, ad8 and ad10.
I decided that this might cause some issues, so I backed up the config and modified the appropriate lines and reloaded the new config. Nas4Free booted fine, but the load averages are still elevated.
I then noticed that in the config file that the
Code: Select all
<type>IDE</type>All of my other NAS devices, both using FN7 or N4Free show {0.0 0.0 0.0} when not being used. This is the only NAS I have that has been upgraded and it shows these weird persistently high load averages.
Could this be a ZFS config issue? Could it have something to do with IDE config overhead? What else could cause this? I've been playing with this for over a month with no success.
