5.1b tru64 boot extremely slowly

[Ivan Ferreira]

I forgot to say.

If the problem is the cluster interconnect, when booting a single member (the other turned off), it boots normally.

Mark+Han,
as it is mentioned here, that can be a false message when using LSM.

I was told that in a cluster the swapping should be eager. Is that correct?

greetings,

You're right. I don't recommend LSM on large systems and especially not on the cluster root disks. So I had not seen that message before.

I'm not aware of any relation of swap_eager to LSM or clustered systems. Should be fine to run in lazy mode even with LSM in clusters.

As you can see in those release notes several LSM performance issues were fixed. That's exactly why I asked what the patch level was. Which still hasn't been answered.
