This is a rather bizarre problem, but I figure you guys might know whats going on :) Basically my setup is this: 3.4-stable machine acting as NFS and FTP server among other things for a local network. 4.0-current machine on same network with latest xmms package installed. current machine mounts stable's nfs shares. xmms loads up a playlist of the nfs shared files... go ahead and play a few songs. Then, on the -current machine, ftp to the -stable machine and you get horrid transfer rates (on the order of ~200KB/sec on a 100bt network). Stop playing in xmms, transfer rates pop back up to 7-8MB/sec. This isn't an NFS problem-- copying a large file off of the nfs share in the background doesn't affect the transfer speeds of concurrent ftp sessions. It is *only* when xmms is playing a file off of the nfs share. The other strange thing is that ftp'ing the file to /dev/null instead of to disk (while playing a nfs-shared song in xmms) works fine; it is only when ftp'ing to disk that the problem surfaces. So, is this a port problem or a current problem? :) enjoy -- Jason Garman http://web.wedgie.org/ Student, University of Maryland jgarman@wedgie.org From fortune(1): Whois: JAG145 "...
