Hi, I have a squeeze server
Linux rv1 2.6.32-5-amd64 #1 SMP Fri Oct 15 00:56:30 UTC 2010 x86_64 GNU/Linux It has a lot of free RAM and the processors also don't have much work load # free -m total used free shared buffers cached Mem: 3956 2778 1178 0 0 1448 -/+ buffers/cache: 1329 2627 Swap: 9538 0 9538 top - 17:41:14 up 6:35, 1 user, load average: 0.40, 0.91, 0.63 Tasks: 197 total, 1 running, 196 sleeping, 0 stopped, 0 zombie Cpu0 : 0.0%us, 0.0%sy, 0.0%ni, 99.0%id, 0.7%wa, 0.0%hi, 0.3%si, 0.0%st Cpu1 : 0.0%us, 0.0%sy, 0.3%ni, 99.7%id, 0.0%wa, 0.0%hi, 0.0%si, 0.0%st Cpu2 : 0.3%us, 0.3%sy, 0.0%ni, 96.7%id, 2.3%wa, 0.3%hi, 0.0%si, 0.0%st Cpu3 : 0.0%us, 0.3%sy, 0.3%ni, 96.3%id, 2.7%wa, 0.0%hi, 0.3%si, 0.0%st Mem: 4051952k total, 2824744k used, 1227208k free, 528k buffers Swap: 9767416k total, 28k used, 9767388k free, 1484668k cached I have samba installed. ii samba 2:3.5.5~dfsg-1 SMB/CIFS file, print, and login server for Unix ii samba-common 2:3.5.5~dfsg-1 common files used by both the Samba server and client ii samba-common-bin 2:3.5.5~dfsg-1 common files used by both the Samba server and client and have a few shares. Recently Saving/Copying files from Windows Clients to the Samba server has become slow at times. The system waits during these times for a long time even while performing operations using ssh such as #aptitude update I ran test for the hard drives and they are fine # smartctl -l selftest /dev/sda === START OF READ SMART DATA SECTION === SMART Self-test log structure revision number 1 Num Test_Description Status Remaining LifeTime(hours) LBA_of_first_error # 1 Extended offline Completed without error 00% 1226 - # smartctl -l selftest /dev/sdb === START OF READ SMART DATA SECTION === SMART Self-test log structure revision number 1 Num Test_Description Status Remaining LifeTime(hours) LBA_of_first_error # 1 Extended offline Completed without error 00% 1191 - What else can I do to trouble shoot this problem? thanks :-) --Siju -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
