Mulder & Scully strike again. After exactly 7 days, the same
problem mentioned before on this list appears. Only this time I didn't
wait so long for the load to reach sky high, and I have some reports of
free, w, ps -afuxw and netstat -an. I can send them to anyone who is
interested. Just a reminder:
- the machine is a Pentium 166, 64M, {ftp, nfs, mail}server.
- the load with nfs is quite high, this is what I suspect.
If anyone is interested in spending some time on those files, just
mail me. IMHO, with a few processes and nothing to eat up more than 1%
CPU, there is no way the load could reach 4. The delay between typing
something and the thing to appear on the terminal, and from that moment to
be executed, is far too high (about 2 seconds just for a w).
I'll keep tracing this, maybe I can come up with someting useful
after all.
Best wishes,
