>Description:
The display of "systat buf" on sparc64 with sparc64 userland
shows "0 KBytes" in the metadata information, and is missing
the file system specific part of the display. Example output
from the above host:
/0 /1 /2 /3 /4 /5 /6 /7 /8 /9 /10
Load Average ||||||
There are 6934 metadata buffers using 0 kBytes of memory.
There are 42595 pages for cached file data using 340760 kBytes of memory.
There are 1216 pages for executables using 9728 kBytes of memory.
In comparison, one of my i386 hosts shows:
/0 /1 /2 /3 /4 /5 /6 /7 /8 /9 /10
Load Average |||||||||||||||||||||||||
There are 1964 metadata buffers using 9606 kBytes of memory.
There are 38370 pages for cached file data using 153480 kBytes of memory.
There are 2144 pages for executables using 8576 kBytes of memory.
File System Bufs used % kB in use % Bufsize kB % Util %
/usr 1939 98 9435 98 9478 99 100

/tmp 7 0 34 0 36 0 94
Total: 1964 100 9561 100 9606 100 100
Just as an additional point, an alpha host running 2.0_BETA
shows:
/0 /1 /2 /3 /4 /5 /6 /7 /8 /9 /10
Load Average |||||
There are 60699 metadata buffers using 148209 kBytes of memory.
There are 83354 pages for cached file data using 666832 kBytes of memory.
There are 1414 pages for executables using 11312 kBytes of memory.
File System Bufs used % kB in use % Bufsize kB % Util %
/usr 60501 99 147004 99 147451 99 100
/var 114 0 419 0 421 0 100

...so this does not appear to be a generic LP64 bug.
>How-To-Repeat:
Run "systat buf", observe output.
