Very high system load...

Hi all,

I have been using ASL for almost 3 years now, and I love it. It works very good for me. I use it at home (free 10-user Office licence) for, well, 8-10 computers... I used ASL V.3 for quite some time on an old P166 computer, which ran very smoothly.

But now I installed ASL V.5.100 on another machine, which is a P-II 333, 128MB RAM, 6.5GB disk, and now I am running into some issues:
-The system load is VERY high: constant 7.5! CPU is at 100% usage constantly when reading top. Different processes however:  confd, mdw_deamon, get_conf
-I get an e-mail every hour saying that "alicd" is not running, restarting. I have read the other posts about this issue, but the tips didn't work for me (resetting IP-counter, installing V5.100)

Can anyone help me? Or is my system just too slow to run ASL V.5 (hope not)

Thanx a lot in advance.
Cheers,

   Martijn

BTW, the firewall functions just fine. Internet traffic is nog slown down at all  [:)]

Check if the MTU settings of your interfaces are set correctly. If in doubt, set them to their default-values. I had exactly the same symptoms you describe and were caused by a bad MTU value of an interface that's connected to a DSL router.

HTH,

Unfortunately, I think your hardware is under-spec for v5.100 and will have to be upgraded/replaced.
(try increasing your RAM to 256MB first, if that doesn't help a lot, replace the processor or upgrade the box)

Hi Mike,

Hmm, hardware under-spec... That'll cost me money, thanx a lot [;)]h the roof...

I have the feeling it is somehow connected to the "alicd" process not running... Any ideas??

TIA

Look here for the specs and even a hardware calculator.

I had the 'alicd' problem on a production machine but following the IP reset instructions cleared it. My home unit is a PIII-550 which had to be purchased for V5 because the old PII-233 was deathly slow. Even the 'new' 550 needs 256MB to be reasonably responsive - with 128MB the hard drive was active all the time (swap I guess).
