Hello all, hoping you can help. We have a RedHat box that two days ago starting having periods of slow performance. The slow down is bad enough that you can see it when trying to type at a terminal and some processes, such as SNMP, don't respond. Users have also been disconnected.
The last change that was made was applying the normal monthly patches on 2/7 (the problem only started showing up yesterday). According to the information from 'top', the system seems to be fine. A typical snapshot looks like this: Tasks: 282 total, 8 running, 274 sleeping, 0 stopped, 0 zombie Cpu(s): 1.1%us, 0.3%sy, 0.0%ni, 98.5%id, 0.0%wa, 0.0%hi, 0.0%si, 0.0%st Mem: 3909268k total, 1669580k used, 2239688k free, 231832k buffers Swap: 6094840k total, 0k used, 6094840k free, 972756k cached Any ideas on where to look? Thanks! Mike
