We're having trouble running xperfmon on our Sun SPARCstation 1s. (I
tried contacting the author of xperfmon, Thomas A. Bagli
[tom@meepmeep.pcs.com], to no avail).
When we try to invoke xperfmon, we get the message "vmstat: Disk init
info not in namelist". After a little tracking, it appears this is
occurring because the symbol _mbdinit is not present in the kernel on
our Sun 4c's (but IS present on our Sun 4/280, where xperfmon runs
without incident). The symbol _fdinit IS present on the SPARCstations
(and not on the 4/280), but I'm not enough of a kernel hacker to know
if the two symbols (_mbdinit and _fdinit) are related.
Can anyone help us? We're using the MIT R4 vanilla server (patched
through fix-11) on Sun SPARCstation 1s running SunOS 4.0.3c. We're
all diskful clients (i.e. root and swap only on a local SCSI,
everything else via an NFS server), and we're using the xperfmon that
came on the R4 tape.
