I forgot to note that RedHat did have me do the following, which didn't fix the problem, but did seem to take some of the bite out of kswapd.
echo "1276 2552 3828" > /proc/sys/vm/freepages Andy >>> [EMAIL PROTECTED] Saturday, December 07, 2002 5:18:50 AM >>> Hye, we are using RH AdvSrv 2.1 as a HA cluster for filesharing (samba, nfs) on Dell 1650 (2x1133MHz, 2 GB RAM for each server). 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
