Dear list members, I have two questions Recently my LTSP servers have been exhibiting some worrying signs. The load average has been soaring, sometimes with only a few users and there has been no indication in 'top' of any runaway processes. Indeed most of the time the cpu has been shown to be over 90% idle and no swap is being used. Can anyone suggest what is going wrong? It mostly happens when browsers are being used to surf the net, but I can't pinpoint any particular one as being the culprit. We have recently changed to broadband, could this have anything to do with it?
Next is, I think , a filesystem problem. This has also recently started to happen. I have a single /home server from which my LTSP servers mount /home at boot via NFS. At various times this directory does not allow the creation of new directories which can sometimes(not always) be cured by deleting a directory but then many more than one may be created after this. Individual student directories have randomly become unwritable, for instance during the set up of a new version of OpenOffice (after the deletion of previous OO directories). All the permissions are set correctly, and the /home server is running RedHat 7.2. Using ssh to connect to the /home server and running commands directly on it does not solve the problem. Is there any logical explanation for this seemingly illogical behaviour. regards garry saddington ------------------------------------------------------- This SF.net email is sponsored by: ValueWeb: Dedicated Hosting for just $79/mo with 500 GB of bandwidth!
