Adaptec 2120S ZCR RAID Controller ... 4GB of RAM ... 6x36GB Seagate Cheetah drives in a RAID5 configuration ... Onboard Intel ethernet ... But, I can't seem to find anything to back up the feeling ... so don't even know what I'm asking on this one ... the server has been up 12hrs (I rebooted earlier to give Scott some info he requested from the boot): neptune# uptime 2:25AM up 12:15, 5 users, load averages: 0.90, 1.01, 1.18 A systat -vmstat shows: 5 users Load 0.63 1.08 1.31 Mar 16 02:19 Mem:KB REAL VIRTUAL VN PAGER SWAP PAGER Tot Share Tot Share Free in out in out Act 498812 87200 1616180 232472 213712 count 4 All 3892832 157920 387212 394364 pages 5 Interrupts Proc:r p d s w Csw Trp Sys Int Sof Flt 26 cow 247 total 44 9275 2869 349 4305 247 1369 345 472944 wire 8 aac0 irq2 886588 act 11 fxp0 irq9 9.0%Sys 0.0%Intr 0.3%User 0.0%Nice 90.7%Idl 2213900 inact 100 clk irq0 | | | | | | | | | | 178088 cache 128 rtc irq8 ====> 35624 free daefr Namei Name-cache Dir-cache 44 prcfr Calls hits % hits % react 234 234 100 pdwake 1 zfod pdpgs Disks aacd0 1 ofod intrn KB/t 14.30 %slo-z 204096 buf tps 8 47 tfree 79 dirtybuf MB/s 0.11 327680 desiredvnodes % busy 4 295838 numvnodes 13121 freevnodes Does anything look off here?
