It's one form of fix :) I've been running for a few weeks now with both sendfile just off, and the TCP_CORK patch/hack I posted, turning sendfile off is probably more reliable, but in cases of heavy load the latter makes more sense. ftp.heanet.ie is currently running the TCP_CORK patch for a reference case, www.heanet.ie is running with sendfile disabled. > As mentioned in the following threads: > http://groups.yahoo.com/group/new-httpd/message/41447 > http://groups.yahoo.com/group/new-httpd/message/41485 > > The general fix with 2.0.43 was to use --disable-sendfile too. > This option is thus also meant for Linux users who have a NIC > which behaves strange when sendfile() is enabled along with IPv6. > > Also I can't find any mention of it in the docs > (http://httpd.apache.org/docs-2.0/) It's probably worth documenting better, I'll submit a docs patch later unless someone beats me to it. -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] PubKey: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Web: http://devnull.redbrick.dcu.ie/
