Dave, Thanks for the ideas, those issues have already been eliminated. I kind of am aware of the problem areas that arise and already changed them. I am only using NFS3 (4 gave us some problems), and already turned off IPv6 The high level of drops: 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:62047738 errors:0 dropped:168228 overruns:0 frame:0 I thought of another idea, and went to the console and tried to vi a file and it's slow there as well. That rules out networking. Something is definitely wrong at a very low level with disk and networking. Double-check of NFS 4 not being used: nfsstat -4 Client rpc stats: calls retrans authrefrsh 1386788 0 1386837 Client nfs v4: null read write commit open open_conf 0 0% 0 0% 0 0% 0 0% 0 0% 0 0% open_noat open_dgrd close setattr fsinfo renew 0 0% 0 0% 0 0% 0 0% 0 0% 0 0% On Thu, 2011-08-18 at 16:40 +0100, Dave Howorth wrote:

Good morning all,
I work for the City of Largo, Florida and we are trying to get the last push to go live with an OpenSuse 11.4 server and the GNOME desktop. Unfortunately we seem to have a low level problem that is keeping that from happening.
No idea whether they're relevant but two issues that people seem to have tripped over quite a lot with 11.4 are:
- now defaults to NFS v4, causing incompatibilities with some clients - IPv6 enabled means problems if DNS servers are broken.
Cheers, Dave
