Weird behavior under FreeBSD

[Jiří Kubíček]

Hello,

after few days of successful running bird under FreeBSD 8.1 it becomes weird. Load of the machine jumps to 2.00 and birdc respond's very slowly. It takes minutes to "display protocols" and it becomes worse and worse.

Tried to upgrade from 1.2.3 to 1.2.4 and the same thing hapened today.

Killing bird takes also a long time. After restarting the process the same behaviour can be observed.

I have tried to disable protocols and found out that disabling kernel1 and restarting bird helped and birdc responded smoothly. After re-enabling kernel1 I have observed in log file that exporting to kernel1 is extremely slow (about 5 prefixes per second) and exporting 320k prefixes takes for ever (few seconds under normal conditions).

The only workaround I have is rebooting the machine.

I currenty run two bird routers peering each other and the same thing was observed on both of them today. One of them runs also bird6 and there was no problem observed. 

Is anyone running bird on FreeBSD without problems?

Can someone give me any hints what do observe/debug if it happens again?

Thank you

Jiri KUBICEK
