However, it's a bit better. We started bonnie++, and waited a few secs, then tested with ls'ing uncached catalogs on /-filesystem. This was a command that took about 1m real time, to do every time earlier (2.4.4). Now it only takes 1m real time when ls isn't cached or hashed. This goes for every other command. However, after we waited a few mins. the box started to become unsuable again (sshd-sessions lagged, for instance). Killing bonnie++ fixes the situation after a little while (1-3mins). So, any other ideas are very welcome :) -- -Thomas -- To unsubscribe, send a message with 'unsubscribe linux-mm' in the body to majordomo@kvack.org.
