Yes, tasks do take longer in real time. (a lot longer) The RAID was not rebuilding. The 2nd chassis started behaving strangely, and upon reboot would not finish booting. The guys at the hosting company said the server was still booting up after 15 minutes and going VERY VERY slowly. They finally gave up and decided to swap chassis again (on 3rd chassis now). This time around, on 3rd chassis, the "lost ticks" are no longer, the server is fast/normal again, and all is well. I just can't believe we ran into 2 servers with the same issue back to back??? (the guys at the hosting company are usually great, but it almost makes me doubt that they did the 1st chassis swap??) Anyway, all is well again.... bizarre weekend indeed. -Bond _______________________________________________ Linux-PowerEdge mailing list Linux-PowerEdge@dell.com https://lists.us.dell.com/mailman/listinfo/linux-poweredge Please read the FAQ at http://lists.us.dell.com/faq
