Package: procps Version: 2.0.7-8.woody1 When I run uptime I get an error message that says...
sql1$ uptime Unknown HZ value! (1) Assume 100. 11:39:25 up 125 days, 15:33, 2 users, load average: 0.00, 0.00, 0.07 I had never seen the line "Unknown HZ value! (1) Assume 100". I have an identical box, and when I run uptime on it I don't get that message... sql2$ uptime 11:39:31 up 97 days, 22:47, 1 user, load average: 0.00, 0.00, 0.00 I get the same message when I run ps, uptime, free, vmstat. I looked around a bit on the web, and have found that other people have had the same bug, and found that it may have to do with the idle time becoming too great. But all the messages seem to be regarding the older 2.2 kernel series. I'm running the 2.4 kernel series. Here are a few of the helpful messages I've come across... http://lists.debian.org/debian-user/2001/12/msg00251.html * http://alphalinux.org/archives/axp-list/May2000/0232.shtml http://www.ussg.iu.edu/hypermail/linux/kernel/0105.0/0216.html http://alphalinux.org/archives/axp-list/May2000/0225.shtml * this one says that the bug went away after upgrading to RH6.1 (procps-2.0.5-1), but that's an earlier version than the one I'm running. I will attempt to reboot my system later this week, and will append what I find out then to this bug report. For now here are my system stats... sql1$ procinfo Linux 2.4.28-bf2.4 ([EMAIL PROTECTED]) (gcc 3.3.4 ) #1 SMP Fri Nov 19 13:51:55 AKST 2004 4CPU [sql1.(none)] Memory: Total Used Free Shared Buffers Cached Mem: 2586840 2503228 83612 0 47212 2264956 Swap: 489940 2040 487900 Bootup: Mon Jan 10 19:05:41 2005 Load average: 0.00 0.00 0.01 1/50 16804 user : 2d 9:28:09.11 0.4% page in : 82541345 disk 1: 2814329r44734553w nice : 0:38:53.77 0.0% page out:507005524 system: 2d 21:35:50.65 0.5% swap in : 2241 idle : 4:43:39.51 0.0% swap out: 2689 uptime: 125d 15:43:36.50 context :1928587691 irq 0:1085661650 timer irq 14: 5 ide0 irq 1: 131 keyboard irq 38: 46934566 megaraid irq 2: 0 cascade [4] irq 48: 84580704 eth0 irq 4: 2 irq 49: 4551449 eth1 sql1$ uname -a Linux sql1 2.4.28-bf2.4 #1 SMP Fri Nov 19 13:51:55 AKST 2004 i686 unknown sql1$ ls -l /lib/libc.so.6 lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 13 Jan 14 12:40 /lib/libc.so.6 -> libc-2.2.5.so sql1:~$ cat /proc/uptime 10857684.95 10677117.77 sql1:~$ cat /proc/stat cpu 20689243 233405 25055636 2129024 cpu0 7510563 94000 10447833 1067716255 cpu1 3026267 21866 1781498 1080939020 cpu2 7320607 95149 10033431 1068319464 cpu3 2831806 22390 2792874 1080121581 page 82541529 507035988 swap 2241 2689 intr 1221847459 1085768651 131 0 0 2 0 2 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 5 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 46938047 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 84588637 4551984 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 00 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 disk_io: (8,0):(47552412,2814348,165083058,44738064,1014071984) ctxt 1928606267 btime 1105405541 processes 5989421 For comparisons sake here is the output from the identical system... sql2:~$ procinfo Linux 2.4.28-bf2.4 ([EMAIL PROTECTED]) (gcc 3.3.4 ) #1 SMP Fri Nov 19 13:51:55 AKST 2004 4CPU [sql2.(none)] Memory: Total Used Free Shared Buffers Cached Mem: 2586840 1339552 1247288 0 26796 1141136 Swap: 489940 1616 488324 Bootup: Mon Feb 7 11:52:13 2005 Load average: 0.00 0.00 0.00 1/46 17893 user : 1:00:54.99 0.0% page in : 4945265 disk 1: 100932r 2912981w nice : 0:34:02.62 0.0% page out:124178132 system: 2:54:32.55 0.0% swap in : 130 idle : 391d 15:40:02.80 99.9% swap out: 336 uptime: 97d 23:02:23.24 context : 65952662 irq 0: 846374324 timer irq 14: 5 ide0 irq 1: 2 keyboard irq 38: 3003137 megaraid irq 2: 0 cascade [4] irq 48: 17755659 eth0 irq 4: 2 irq 49: 4616838 eth1 irq 6: 2 sql2:~$ uname -a Linux sql2 2.4.28-bf2.4 #1 SMP Fri Nov 19 13:51:55 AKST 2004 i686 unknown sql2:~$ ls -l /lib/libc.so.6 lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 13 Jan 14 12:42 /lib/libc.so.6 -> libc-2.2.5.so sql2:~$ cat /proc/uptime 8464194.47 8460732.14 sql2:~$ cat /proc/stat cpu 365500 204277 1047321 3384085154 cpu0 122330 84496 108885 846109852 cpu1 71699 16901 38986 846297977 cpu2 130891 85536 109532 846099604 cpu3 40580 17344 789918 845577721 page 4945321 124178856 swap 130 336 intr 871802553 846425563 2 0 0 2 0 2 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 5 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 3003220 0 0 00 0 0 0 0 0 17756665 4617094 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 00 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 00 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 disk_io: (8,0):(3013996,100937,9890642,2913059,248357736) ctxt 65956846 btime 1107798733 processes 4237294 Thank you very much for looking into this for me.
