Could you keep track of the time of day when you have experienced problems? Also if you were dealing only with subversion or if you were also dealing with a web page interface to subversion. (The web page interface uses a frontend machine that interfaces to the backend vcs machine.) The subversion backend VM instance is named "vcs" and has a load problem that happens in the middle of the night local -0500 timezone time. It sometimes hits a load of 30 or so. During that time it just doesn't respond very fast. The middle of the night part has gotten in the way of anyone having been able to debug it. Several of us have looked at the problem but mostly we are not awake when the problem is occurring. It has been discussed on the mailing list. Our best thoughts now is that it is from backup. We have asked the FSF admins to implement a bandwidth limit on the backup process but so far AFAIK this has not been implemented yet. > It might be nice to add a link in the margin of the website to > some page with information on possible network problems, > e.g. under the Site Help header.

It was announced two months ago and there have been no postings there yet. https://www.fsf.org/blogs/sysadmin/new-fsfstatus-notification-account Bob
