Re: weak perfomance on woody

What are the continuous instances doing? `ps awux | grep sendmail` will provide much more info than just ps. I would guess that you have one daemon on port 25, one MSP daemon, and possibly a queue runner hanging around...

so it is.


Turn off the other stuff you don't need (do you really need named running? lwresd? gdm? lpt? XFree86? oafd?) You're running a lot of stuff on this box, some of which may be contending for resources.

the machine used to run properly on earlier woody-installations with the
debian-default stuff enabled, however, good idea to turn off things like lwresd.

Looks like you're running SCSI... what's your partitioning scheme look like? What are you mounting remotely via NFS? what are you exporting via NFS?

Filesystem            Size  Used Avail Use% Mounted on
/dev/sda6             497M   33M  438M   7% /
/dev/sda1              63M  6.1M   53M  11% /boot
/dev/sda7             3.7G  168M  3.3G   5% /usr
/dev/sda8             2.0G  105M  1.7G   6% /var
/dev/sda9             1.6G   33M  1.5G   3% /opt
/dev/vg00/export       12G   33M   11G   1% /export
/dev/vg00/tmp         4.9G   33M  4.5G   1% /tmp

Run `ps awux | grep D` a couple of times, look for processes that are getting blocked during disk accesses.

What kernel are you running?


2.4.18

What SCSI controller?


Adaptec 39160 (disks attached here)
Symbios Logic 53C8X

What processor are you running?

2 * P II 350 MHZ (currently under an up-kernel)

your input has been very valuable. thanks a lot. i am still working through it with increasing success, the problem seemed to be related
to some cron-stuff running all at once.
X/gdm still starts extremly slow (1-2 min) after boot, but runs fine except from that.
