<!-- DIV {margin:0px} -->I'm actually seeing 100% disk busy under both rhel4 
and freebsd 4.11 with just 98 nodes in 13 clusters.   My goal is to get gmetad 
running on freebsd, rhel4 was just for comparision's sake.  A ktrace reveals 
100s of failed mkdirs during every writing period - traceable to rrd_helpers.c. 
 There don't seem to be any other significant events.  When the disk hits 100% 
iowait the system is unusable.

I was under the impression that a relatively low powered system could handle 
something like this configuration - perhaps that is the issue?  The box is a 
PIII 800 with 1.5 GB mem - the rrds are stored on a dedicated 70 GB ide disk.

Any insight would be appreciated.  I'm hanging out in #ganglia on freenode if 
anyone wants to chat.

Thank you,

Gil

     RE: [Ganglia-general] New (final?) tarball for ganglia-3.0.3    Hi Martin:
  
 Finally had the time to test  it, here's the text in the webpage now:

Gmetad Web Frontend version  3.0.3.200604132304 Check for Updates.
Gmetad Web Backend (gmetad) version  3.0.3.200604102000 Check for Updates.
  
 Looks like it's  fixed.
  
 BTW, I tested Ganglia on  Fedora Core 5 x86 and it is working  fine.
  
 Did anybody else test  3.0.3?  Somebody on IRC mentioned that he was having 
issues with gmetad  using up 99% CPU with a large number of clients (50+).
  
 Cheers,
  
 Bernard

  Bernard,

 could you please test the following patch  in "web" to solve this
really really big problem :-) You need to run  "./configure" to recreate
"web/version.php".
