I should be able to get 200 users on this hardware. The symptoms are identical. Files that are sitting in /etc have very slow disk access speeds. With 26 users, vi /etc/services blinks for 2 seconds before the file opens. If I copy the file to /tmp or /home, it opens immediately. Tested on other servers with heavier users loads, running SLED 11 and OS 11.3 and this isn't seen at all. I'm sure if we get to our peak loads of 40, that it's going to behave as it did before and be painfully slow. There are two network cards activated just as before, and both are behaving as before. Lots of dropped RX packets. eth0 is the internal network, and eth1 goes out to the Internet. We use this same configuration on all servers with no similar issues on earlier versions of OpenSuse. Does everyone agree that we should move to the 3.0 kernel? I can't even imagine what could be causing these issues. eth0 Link encap:Ethernet HWaddr 00:1C:C4:93:DF:72 inet addr:128.222.99.243 Bcast:128.222.255.255 Mask:255.255.0.0 UP BROADCAST RUNNING MULTICAST MTU:1500 Metric:1 RX packets:11322212 errors:0 dropped:70978 overruns:0 frame:0 TX packets:11728443 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 carrier:0 collisions:0 txqueuelen:1000 RX bytes:4811162089 (4588.2 Mb) TX bytes:9917306091 (9457.8 Mb) Interrupt:16 Memory:f8000000-f8012800 eth1 Link encap:Ethernet HWaddr 00:1C:C4:93:DF:74 inet addr:172.23.1.235 Bcast:172.23.255.255 Mask:255.255.0.0 UP BROADCAST RUNNING MULTICAST MTU:1500 Metric:1 RX packets:70739 errors:0 dropped:238 overruns:0 frame:0 TX packets:7314 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 carrier:0 collisions:0 txqueuelen:1000 RX bytes:15062173 (14.3 Mb) TX bytes:760390 (742.5 Kb) Interrupt:17 Memory:fa000000-fa01280 -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.
