Default Slow Server



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.

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?

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 solved it, thanks. The directory containing the app in question was
being filled with thousands of empty files because of a bug in
somebody's code.
