Thanks!

The volume is less than half full. Total Cache Buffers is about 70% of
Original Cache Buffers. Dirty Cache Buffers is usually under 30, but
rarely at 0. Current Disk Requests is consistently at 0. Utilization is
almost always under 10%, and is often at 0%.

I'll get some more memory. What harm, eh?

Well, it doesn't look like it would help. Perhaps you should check the
network, first of all, check speed and duplex settings.

Hi,

- What do you mean by slow ?
- Why do you that your server is slow and not your network ?
- What is the exact action you are running like copy a file from or to
server, printing.... ?
- Did you ever use a cross over cable with a client directly connected
to the server running the same process which seems to be slow ?

I'm having a similar issue. Browsing the users folder on the SYS volume
becomes extremely slow. At one point the users folder disappeared, which
is a little frightening. At that point I downed the server. This process
normally takes 1 or 2 minutes, but this time it took about 15 to 20
minutes before everything was shut down and I could start it up again.
It came up fine and things started working normally for a while. A few
hours later, things started slowing to a crawl again.

From system monitor:

SYS 68400 MB capacity 80% full
VOL1 69984 MB capacity 75% full
Utilization: 0%
Server up time: 0:06:29:24
Online processors: 1
Original cache buffers: 589,213
Total cache buffers: 485,248
Dirty cache buffers: 0

My NetWare 5.0 server has gotten really, really slow, even though the
utilization number is staying small. When I look at NetWare Volume
Statistics I see that the Used Space is listed as a negative number,
which seems possibly related.

I tried repairing the volume, but it didn't make a difference.

Any advice?

Check if the volume is running full. And check if you are running out of
memory; the Total Cache Buffers should be about 50% of Original Cache
Buffers. Dirty Cache Buffers should be at 0 most of the time, as should
Current Disk Requests.
