Poor server bandwith

[SerViL]

Hi guys, got a big problem with the serverspeed. the server has 100mbit, but sometimes if there are racin more than 6guys at the same time, speed goes down. dont know why and dont know how to fix it. i got newest ioftpd (5-3-9r) + iobanana (v19)


[20:11] <x> -x- [BW] + Up: 6@361.5kBps - Dn: 9@656.5kBps - Total: 15@1017.9kBps :confused:


hope you guys can help me!

thx - SerViL

It does 20mb/sec for me with hundreds of clients using ide disk... it's all about cache. I would however monitor server loads, as running external applications (such as iob) rises loads considerably - which in term, might cause odd things to happend, if server doesn't have enough cputime for file/socket io. (Other than that, it could be software firewall etc. that's causing such behaviour)

i checked the system but everything is ok on a race, cpu does not get more den 50% and others seems ok too.
i got serv-u on the server running too and there is no problem. if more than 3 guys are racin, listening with io sux. im very sad about it :(

/edit

maybe its configuration problem.. this is my config, hope ya can find something to fix..

Wheter it works perfectly on serv-u is irrelevant, as it's based on different API calls. Overlapped IO (usinc completion ports) is much harder to manage on driver level, and improper implementation could result to what you've experienced.

Driver in this case can be;
1) harddrive controller's driver
2) network adapter's driver
3) 3rd party driver hook (virus scanner, firewall, ...)

I'm not sure, if there's any way to debug this... also 50% cpu usage sounds high for such speed (if it's average; on 2ghz p4 it should be closer to 0 than 50 :) - ofcourse external scripts may have effect on this, as they add overhead)

[Mave_2]

Hm i wonder to what causes this
I have the same problem on my site
and i know several other sites running ioFTPD which have same problem lately
Also cpu on some of those sites reaches the top sometimes

[SerViL]

yes and i cant fix it :/
currys want glftpd but i already donated for ioftpd.
maybe its configproblem but dont know how to fix it. hope there comes an io update soon, which works good on my site without this damn speedprobs :banana:

[darkone]

Scheduler might cause infinite loop (causing cpu to hit ceiling, which in term - affects performance) You could try disabling all scripts,as that's the most likely cause for high loads on slow speeds.
