Hi all
After upgrading two 2-CPU servers (intel) from 2.2 to 2.4, users
complain about their shell hangs for several seconds, sometimes minutes,
when doing trivial stuff like doing a 'cat' or a 'vi' against a file.
When trying to do more heavy I/O, the process in question will all of a
sudden go Defunct and stay like that till some wonder lets it out in
real life again. Does any of you know what this could be? The servers
are of quite different hardware; one is a Dell 4300, the other's a home
built something.
.config listed below
Please CC: to me as I'm not on the list
Regards
roy
