Hi there,
I have a problem during backup when all sessions almost stall.
In NMC I can see a throughput of like 100KB/sec or less from the 4-5 hosts
currently backing up to the server.
Up to that point all was fast, then it stalls for a few hours, then it's back
to full speed again.
Doesn't look like a bottleneck to me. Client's resources are ok. Server's
resources are ok as well. (cpu,disk,network)
But what's going on?
This is Networker 7.5 and just for the sake of illustration see the io graph
for one of the hosts here: http://jeronimo.servehttp.com/dataio.jpg
During the stall I was watching savepnpc using lsof, it was slowly accessing
every file/dir one after another as it should, but that directory is nothing
special, the filesystem isn't corrupt. Well, I still have to find out if it
always stalls in there.
But as I said, *all* clients stall, not only that one. Points me to trouble
with the server...
Any ideas???
Thanks
marki
