13.0-RELEASE Poor performance on Raspberry pi 3 B+
Date: Tue, 23 Nov 2021 02:42:25 UTC
Hi, I'm trying to use the OS on a Raspberry pi 3 B+ Boot is pretty slow. It hangs on `ue0: Ethernet addresss: ...` for some minutes before showing the `login:` to enter the username. When I enter it, it takes a few seconds to ask for the password. While doing `freebsd-update fetch install` it took a plenty of minutes, so I canceled the process and then did `freebsd-update fetch` and then `freebsd-update install` to see what was going on. Found that the process was at `wdraid` state. Doing a simple search, I found about `vfs.hirunningspace` so I tweaked it to 1Mb and then to 2Mb. It seems to help, but not by much. Look at this: freebsd@generic:~ % time freebsd-version -kru 13.0-RELEASE-p4 13.0-RELEASE-p4 13.0-RELEASE-p5 0.365u 0.045s 0:41.25 0.9% 20+177k 14+0io 0pf+0w :( What could I be missing? Maybe I need to tweak partitions and use some kind of configuration/optimization? how? I do appreciate any guidance you can provide in order to troubleshoot this. PS: I don't think it is the microsd card since it runs raspios fine. PS2: The red led is turned off at the boot process so no way of knowing visually if the pi is running. Weird is that the led turned on again after `shutdown -p now` hehe. -- Juan David Hurtado G
