Ah, no I simply have the smp kernel installed. So you are saying big-smp
will help this old 10.0 box? I will eventually dump 10.0 for 10.3, but
this is a production backup server that will take quite a bit of
configuration after the jump. I'll see if I can find a bigsmp kernel for
it and give it a try!
