Today I was running a yum (yum-3.2.13) update that pulled in something on the order of 50 packages (though there are about 5000 installed) and noticed it was running pretty slow. So I took a look using top and saw it had a virtual size of 3GB which seems excessive. The resident size was around 600MB. Based on the slowness, I am guessing that the memory was being used in a way that was resulting in paging despite 600MB being only around 30% of memory. (The machine is a dual core Xeon with 2GB of memory and a couple of sata disks using encryption on top op of raid.) I like some of the features of yum, but it can really be a pig at times. Since I have mirrors of the repo locally, running rpm -Fvh *.rpm is going to run faster and will work when packages dependencies haven't changed. -- fedora-test-list mailing list fedora-test-list@xxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe: https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-test-list
