The SA timeouts I'm finding on all the servers. Even the db server that runs it's own amavisd process for backup purposes and some minor domains just to make sure it is there and working. This is why I think you're right, the pgsql db is too slow. Would I possibly see dramatic differences in speed with the RAID switch? -- Robert _______________________________________________ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"
