Weird behaviour case insensitivity with bash on MacOS I haven't encountered a case insensitive shell environment before. Thanks for the help... I'm going to have to re-think some of my shell-scripts now :-( |

Tools for Monitoring Steal Time (st) The spec is right, but does it matter? dual core hyperthreading v. quad-core still show up as 4 CPUs. Should Xen only allocate us 2 CPUs? |

Tools for Monitoring Steal Time (st) I added some info about the cores above in the question. These bursts of st are short-lived, but they cause a big impact to our server. |

Tools for Monitoring Steal Time (st) still waiting for their support guys to get back to us. Supposedly the "virtual dedicated" concept was to give us a real metal server. It makes scaling, backup and a few other things easier. This is not the first support ticket regarding our load problems, so if this turns out to be the cause, I'll be rather... unhappy. |

Sudden burst in free memory Oh and no hint of the OOM killer.... lots of memory free. |

Sudden burst in free memory I suspect the load afterwards is a backlog of activity. Base load on the server is a steady 2-3% with a 5% average load. I recently brought that down from higher figures by removing spamd, changing awstats jobs etc. The server is a shared web host with pop3 and imap on Dovecot. It's overtaxed, but this kind of performance probelm and this kind of weird memory behaviour is abnormal, even for a server which is under steady load. |

Sudden burst in free memory The 'bunch' is the 1.6GB. It's odd. The Swap is 2GB, but mostly unused (50MB occasionally shows up in there). vmstat -SM 3 would be hard to run in a timely fashion. When the system experiences this, sometimes the terminal is unresponsive. Applications: They freeze, we occasionally get Bug: Soft Lockup in the syslog, and their load values get artifically inflated. Everything slowly comes back. |
