I have a news reader machine that is unable to keep up with the a single incoming feed. The feeder machine is running diablo and a large backlog is building up in the outbound queue. Both the feeder and the reader are similar systems System: PPro 200MHZ 256MB RAM Adaptec 3940 2 GB SCSI system disk 512 MB swap 8 x 2GB SCSI disks ccd'd to make up spool partition 4 disks on channel A and 4 on channel B history (125 MB) lives on the system disk server: innd 1.5.1 innd runs with a priority of -6 and seems to spend most of it's time in biowait state. The system is 95% idle most of the time. There is a crossover cable between the feeder machine and the reader machine so they have a private network and I'm able to transfer data via ftp at ~6 MBs between the two machines. I don't understand why the news isn't flying in. Does anyone have any ideas ? regards damian -- * Damian Hamill M.D. damian@cablenet.net * CableNet & The Landscape Channel * http://www.cablenet.net/ http://www.landscapetv.com/
