[00:30] <thafreak> wow, look at the load on my mail server

[00:31] <thafreak> nfs server went away for a few hours...
[00:31] <Unit193> Woow, so that's where all the viagra spam is coming from.
[13:00] <thafreak> haha no the load was due to nfs
[13:00] <thafreak> io wait time was through the roof
[13:01] <thafreak> because nfs went away
[13:01] <thafreak> and so all the io jobs got stuck waiting
[13:01] <thafreak> by the time i took the screen shot, the load dropped from over 300 to 20 as soon as nfs came back
[13:02] <thafreak> as much as I dislike nfs...there really isn't a decent alternative that behaves so well
[13:02] <thafreak> clients just get stuck waiting instead of crashing and all hell breaking loose
[13:03] <thafreak> nfs server comes back 4 hours later, all the clients just start working like nothing happened
[13:03] <thafreak> Those unix beards at sun knew what they were doing man
[16:19] <jrgifford> hey, sun built some solid stuff
[16:19] <jrgifford> i mean, java is *everywhere*
[16:51] <dzho> it's a bit like elvis
[16:53] <dzho> only, when it has a heart attack and falls off the toilet, it doesn't die with any quite the same finality.
[16:53] <dzho> so, it's like a zombie software elvis.
