There are "few" problems with moof... I love that little bundle of fur, but.... Memory is only 384 Mb and CPU is just 466 Mhz. It's the same system I am running @ work, and it is kinda slow :-(
The other thing is that I still quite didn't figure out why it takes roughly 30 seconds to SSH to it... But that might be just some firewall problem.
Have you checked your name resolution configuration? It really sounds like a timeout on reverse resolution.
I'd prefer to use Nago for the task, but (again), not before it gets updated to Solaris 9 and VXFS. But nagoya, on the other hand, has a slower IO from disks on multiple files (it doesn't really like GUMP). I need to see if VXFS changes this...
Most probably yes, it will. But never rely on Sun iron if you want I/O... :-/
NOTE: from an operativity point of view, Pier has enough karma to setup everything we need on moof or nagoya, as well as providing accounts for those who want to help running the staging server (I would suspect Jeff and Steven to be interested in helping out, hopefully others as well).
Yes, here or there, PLEASE, I need help... And on Nago I can act pretty much alone (I know every little bit of software installed on the machine, and pretty confident on what goes on)...
Here's help, whenever you need it. If you need a hand, just LMK and I'll gladly take some dust off my sysadm skills... :-)
