Yesterday (9/14/15) at 3:00 AM FreeNAS (9.2.1.9) sent my main system the following message:
"FreeNAS.local.celliott.us kernel log messages:
> Timecounter "TSC-low" frequency 1166772351 Hz quality 1000
-- End of security output --"
This is the second one of these messages in as many weeks. A search back as far as 4/3/14 reveals only one other of these messages on 7/1/15 at 3:01 AM.
The CPU on which FreeNAS is running (Intel(R) Xeon(R) CPU 3065 @ 2.33GHz (2333.54-MHz K8-class CPU) has other counters, which FreeNAS enumerates at boot time:
Timecounter "HPET" frequency 14318180 Hz quality 950
Event timer "HPET" frequency 14318180 Hz quality 450
Event timer "HPET1" frequency 14318180 Hz quality 440
Event timer "HPET2" frequency 14318180 Hz quality 440
Event timer "HPET3" frequency 14318180 Hz quality 440
Event timer "RTC" frequency 32768 Hz quality 0
Timecounter "i8254" frequency 1193182 Hz quality 0
Event timer "i8254" frequency 1193182 Hz quality 100
Timecounter "ACPI-fast" frequency 3579545 Hz quality 900
The "TSC-low" frequency 1166772351 Hz quality 1000 time counter appears much later in the boot sequence than the above counter and timers.
Can anyone tell me of the import of this FreeNAS security message?
