Re: Livelock limit engaged?

    run vmstat -i

    Monitor your interrupt rate with systat -vm 1

    If the interrupt rate is normal for the workload on the machine,
    then raise the livelock limit (kern.livelock_limit).

    Something has to be triggering it if it is cycling every 6-7 seconds.
