About 10 hours ago, my website started getting really slow. My MRTG graph shows the server's bandwidth usage dropping to 1/4 of its previous amount:
http://lina.aaanime.net/~pmak/dropoff.png When I got on the server, the load average was above 7. The shell prompt response time was very slow, the webpages took forever to load, but the CPU was over 90% idle, the swap used was less than the physical memory free, and the si/so/bi/bo values in "vmstat 1" were mostly 0. I couldn't figure out why it was lagging so badly. Then on a whim, I tried "rm -rf" on the StateDir. An empty StateDir was re-created by Apache::ASP, and then the lag problems mysteriously evaporated. Any ideas on how I can prevent this problem from reoccurring? (Damn, I should have saved the StateDir for further analysis instead of deleting it.) --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
