eva8000 can't keep up with management requests, help!

[Scott Scriven]

I've now got a list of 9 things to try and reusing vdisks is one of those items. It's one of the more promising options, actually. It just requires a fair amount of effort (code changes and testing) before I can find out whether it helps. So, I'll wait for results from some easier options first.

However, I can tell already that I'm in for a bumpy ride... in the past hour I had an eva8000 completely ignore all management requests (even easy ones like adding a host or listing objects) for about 20 minutes. I think it simply isn't designed for the amount of load it's getting.
