[NFS] Sudden high load average and abnormal behavior

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



Hi,

I have a dedicated NFS server running Raid5 disks and recently
observed a sudden increase in load average and some abnormal behavior
(e.g. command "df -h" halt without returning).

I have checked the Dell OpenManage and showing hardware is okay, the
load average used to be around 3 to 4 before.


Some info might be useful:

Any idea?
