I was never able to generate GPG or ssh public/private personal keys because of the lack of entropy on my basically idle system.

I have never used gpg, but I have tried to use data from /dev/random to generate passwords needed during disaster recovery. This worked fine on a test virtual machine on our own hardware, but hung up during a test at a SunGard site. My best guess is that SunGard used a disk subsystem with I/O service times too consistent to generate significant amounts of entropy. -- For LINUX-390 subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with the message: INFO LINUX-390 or visit http://www.marist.edu/htbin/wlvindex?LINUX-390

Re: Vendors Matter
Right, function is one thing, performance is something else. It may work, but not work well. What I think Rick and friends need to do is to ask EMC to investigate it. They can analyze it and make pretty graphs. Ask them specifically if you are seeing any device level write pendings. RAID configuration affects that as well as the applications i/o sizes and patterns. Not all performance problems can be found by tools such as Velocity & PTK which will look at the VM and Linux level. Sometimes your problem is at a lower level.

Re: SLES10 Install
I don't think it's related to reiserfs versus ext3. The YaST panels are a little ambiguous when it comes to using the term "formatting." The panel where you activate and format your disks is equivalent to varying them online, and then running the dasdfmt command. The panel where you create partitions and set the file system types is equivalent to the fdasd and mkfs commands. You need all of these for things to work. I've had no problems (while using YaST) activating DASD devices, partitioning them, and setting the file system types to ext3.
