[04:08] at one of the machines i got the following message: [04:09] BusyBox v1.3 (Debian 1:1.1.3-2ubuntu3) Built-in shell (ash) [04:09] Enter 'help' for a list of built-in commands [04:09] .... /bin/sh: can't access tty; job control turned off [04:10] i then pressed ctrl+alt+del and rebooted the machine...and then it worked fine [04:10] Usually that's NFS slowness [04:10] Are you on a hub, or a switch? [04:10] switch [04:10] somehow didnt get mounted filesystem? [04:11] Does it do it consistently, or a one-time thing? [04:11] that was a one-time thing....but i'm afraid it could turn up again.... [04:11] could it be caused by starting two machines at the same time? [04:12] the performance of all 6 machines was fine :D [04:12] can't complain [04:12] It's possible. What kind of network card is in the server for the terminals? [04:12] a 3com....but soon to be replaced by a Realtech [04:13] 3com what? And what kind of realteck? Not an 8139? [04:14] Don't skimp on the network card. Use something good, like an intel ether express 100, something that's got a ring buffer, and can store up a couple of packets per interrupt. [04:14] Otherwise, the network card can drop packets. That interface will be very busy. [04:15] ok...i'll have a look for the intel ether express 100 [04:17] sbalneav: You're busy this morning, helping on two chans :-) [04:17] That, and actually trying to do my job, as well :) [04:18] Good on ya.

[04:21] but maybe this is the same one, only labelled differently... http://geizhals.at/a10887.html [04:21] yeah [04:22] that [04:22] thats it.
