Slbd bug on SMP fixed?
-
I noticed there is a new release candidate. Just wondering if the bug where slbd runs away with the cpu(s) on SMP machines has been addressed so I can go back to using an SMP kernel. :)
Cheers,

We have made changes there so it should work normally now. It needs testing for confirmation, so please test!

I believe that went away with FreeBSD 7.0, but that hasn't been fully confirmed.

It's a while since I thought about this one. I've been running 1.2.1-RCx with SLBD (3 failover groups) for weeks now on a quad core xeon rackmount (DL140). I've not seen SLBD grab 100% of a core for a long time now. And stability seems good.
One thing I do see is some mis-reporting in the GUI. A line may show "Offline" whereas the logs show that line as up ie. "marking service UP" was the most recent log for that line. I consistently see this on the primary firewall (SMB) but not on the backup firewall (uniprocessor). The backup firewall uses the same synched-over settings and correctly shows all the lines as "online".
