Dear Kurian Thayil. This is through remote user consoles, like telnet, FTP & SSH from Clients like Windows XP, Fedora & SUSE OS, our network is fine, on the other hand i have one NIS server with 50 users purely work on the Dump Terminals by logging into NIS server. that server is fast. But this server behaves diffrently. if i run sar command the optput is fine with low values, i am suspecting with the SATA 250 GB Disk, this is because when compare to SCSI disk (Fast). any other way to debug this issue. Thanks Vishnu ________________________________ From: Kurian Thayil <kurianmthayil@xxxxxxxxx> To: General Red Hat Linux discussion list <redhat-list@xxxxxxxxxx> Sent: Friday, January 30, 2009 5:11:05 PM Subject: Re: Linux server hangs -----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 Hi Vishnu, Are you feeling the server hangs with the remote console (SSH/Telnet) or is it in the Server Console itself??? With my very little knowledge, the the I/O operations (utilizing the network) gets worse if the network isn't strong. Regards, Kurian Thayil.
