Hello, I'm also running Advanced Server 2.1, except this system is running Oracle 9i. I've talked to Redhat several times and been extremely disappointed with their answers to this problem. It seems to have gotten better with patches, but it's still a big issue for me. They say that engineering it working on it. One solution they suggested (which is not possible due to oracle memory requirements in my situation), was to remove some memory, I have 4GB Ram. It's nice to hear you've got the same issue with 2Gb.
I seem to have the best luck with the kernel I'm running now: 2.4.9-e.10 Enterprise The SMP kernel seems to misbehave more than the Enterprise kernel. I am still hanging on looking for the patch that fixes it, however each day I get closer and closer to ditching their kernel enhancements and building my own kernel. I call them every two weeks and report the problem again, hoping they will notice that it is a problem. If anyone else is experiencing this issue, perhaps we can get them to move faster.

We share a 400GB diskunit as filespace. We detected a high cpu-usage in addition with low performance on the clients while accessing the fileshares. We think kswap is the reason, because this process consums most cputime and sometimes it uses around 90% cpu-usage. Is there someone who has the same effect? Are there any known patches for this problem? I read a lot about kswapd/kupdated and problems in kernels between 2.4.3 and 2.4.15. The kernelmailinglist tells me that this was fixed in 2.4.16 standard kernel. The problem is that redhat uses a highly patched kernel and i'm not sure if i can uses a standardkernel distribution and where to get the fixes. Thanks for all ideas/infos to this issue. regards Mesiol -- redhat-list mailing list unsubscribe mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]?subject=unsubscribe https://listman.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/redhat-list -- redhat-list mailing list unsubscribe mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]?subject=unsubscribe https://listman.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/redhat-list
