Date: Thu, 15 Mar 2001 12:52:43 -0500 Organization: Nikon Electronic Imaging Message-ID: X-Mailer: Forte Agent 1.8/32.548 MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii Content-Transfer-Encoding: quoted-printable Sender: owner-freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.ORG Precedence: bulk X-Loop: FreeBSD.ORG I have several FreeBSD machines that running versions from 3.3 to 4.1. They are either K6-2/500 or K6-3+/500 and they each have 64MB of memory and the default swap space. I've seen big delays (up to 30 sec) when trying to connect to a Samba share or telnet to them. The only thing that I can think is that they are trying to swap stuff out to put together a process for me. They are hardly used at all except for distributed.net clients that run at nice 20. Is there some way that I can tell what is holding up the machines? Is 64MB enough RAM? Do I need a bigger swap area? Please reply direct. I am not subscribed to the list. -- Khouri Giordano Software Technology Researcher Nikon Electronic Imaging | http://www.nikonusa.com/ kgiordano@nikondev.com | 516-547-4335 | 516-547-0361 Fax -- =46ight Spam!
