so it is.
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...
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.
