Re: [BUG] 2.2.19 -> 80% Packet Loss

2001-06-14 Thread Scott Laird
Odds are it's a raw socket receive buffer issue. Stock pings only ask for a ~96k socket buffer, which means that they can only hold one ~64k packet at a time. So, if you're ever slow grabbing packets out of the buffer, you're going to drop traffic. You can fix this by upping the socket buffer

Another rsync over ssh hang (repeatable, with 2.4.1 on both ends)

2001-03-01 Thread Scott Laird
I have a fairly repeatable rsync over ssh stall that I'm seeing between two Linux boxes, both running identical 2.4.1 kernels. The stall is fairly easy to repeat in our environment -- it can happen up to several times per minute, and usually happens at least once per minute. It doesn't really s

Is syslog running correctly? When syslog screws up, it very frequently results in this sort of problem. Scott On Mon, 8 Jan 2001, Chris Meadors wrote: > On Mon, 8 Jan 2001, Igmar Palsenberg wrote: > > > check /etc/pam.d/login > > No pam. > > > Could be kerberos that is biting you, althrou

Re: PROBLEM with raid5 and 2.4.0 kernel

2001-01-07 Thread Scott Laird
It works if you compile the kernel with the processor type set to Pentium II or higher, or disable RAID5. I've been meaning to report this one, but 2.4.0 was released before I had time to test the last prerelease, and I haven't had time to test the final release yet. Scott On Sun, 7 Jan 2001,
