omniback da slow; rpc errors

[Donald Kok]

Hi,

One of the linux omniback diskagents is performing very slow ( < 1Mbit/s ). When the backup is running the messages file is filled with this repeating errors:
...
Kernel: RPC: sendmsg returned error 22
Kernel: nfs: RPCcall returned error 22
...

Does anybody heve a clue?

HI,

ftp from a PC to this linux . Get back with results.

Guess what, other networkconnections (ftp) is also very slow.

Hi,
Any peculiar messages in /var/log/messages ?
What is your CPU load ?.
What is the switch port and ethernet speed settings ?

regards,

I mentioned the messages before (error 22 on nfs and rpc); the cpuload is low; switch and ethernetcard are at 100FD

Look at the obvious first.

Try another ethernet cable.

Try the cable in another switch port.

Re-verify that indeed it is at Full Duplex
on both the Switch and NIC.

Turn off auto-negotiate.

Verify that the installed software driver for the NIC is the correct one. There are all kinds of problems with accidentally using the wrong 3Com driver for a card and it ends up working anyway. Reliability usually suffers.

If the cable works on another system, to that same port on the switch, try swapping out the NIC.

Hi,

Solution is :

- Switch on auto
- linux on 100/full
