My experience is that the kernel.org kernel performs very badly under heavy disk IO when you have 4G of RAM. There are patches to fix this, I can't remember which ones they are (and I couldn't find the patches on their own when I looked). I solved this before by using a SUSE kernel source tree, but a Red Hat kernel source tree has the same patches. -- http://www.coker.com.au/selinux/ My NSA Security Enhanced Linux packages http://www.coker.com.au/bonnie++/ Bonnie++ hard drive benchmark http://www.coker.com.au/postal/ Postal SMTP/POP benchmark http://www.coker.com.au/~russell/ My home page
