Hi! Thank you for the tips!
Sorry, for the long mail, but I wanna show you some server statistics. To answer a few further questions: 1. sysctl -w net.inet.ip.mtudisc=0 doesn't have any effect 2. no important messages in /var/log/messages during up-/download 3. Samba downloads show similar behaviour 4. And I ran some further tests with ifstat, iostat and netperf (see below) My assumptions: I think there are some problems with my hdd, especially when dmesg says: ----- root on wd0a rootdev=0x0 rrootdev=0x300 rawdev=0x302 wd0(pciide0:0:0): timeout type: ata c_bcount: 512 c_skip: 0 wd0e: DMA error writing fsbn 2651200 of 2651200-2651211 (wd0 bn 3819472; cn 3789 tn 2 sn 34), retrying wd0: soft error (corrected) wd0(pciide0:0:0): timeout type: ata c_bcount: 0 c_skip: 0 wd0(pciide0:0:0): timeout type: ata c_bcount: 512 c_skip: 0 wd0(pciide0:0:0): timeout type: ata c_bcount: 8192 c_skip: 0 wd0e: device timeout writing fsbn 2651200 of 2651200-2651215 (wd0 bn 3819472; cn 3789 tn 2 sn 34), retrying wd0: soft error (corrected) wd0(pciide0:0:0): timeout type: ata c_bcount: 512 c_skip: 0 wd0(pciide0:0:0): timeout type: ata c_bcount: 512 c_skip: 0 wd0(pciide0:0:0): timeout type: ata c_bcount: 512 c_skip: 0 wd0(pciide0:0:0): timeout type: ata c_bcount: 6144 c_skip: 0 wd0e: device timeout writing fsbn 2653908 of 2653908-2653919 (wd0 bn 3822180; cn 3791 tn 13 sn 33), retrying wd0: soft error (corrected) ---- After running a self test with smartctl the results do not look very good: ---- Num Test_Description Status Remaining LifeTime(hours) LBA_of_first_error # 1 Extended offline Completed: read failure 40% 2076 169914 ---- And if you have a look at the iostat results you can see repeating patterns like these: ---- wd0 wd0 cpu KB/t t/s MB/s KB xfr time us ni sy in id 64.00 1 0.06 64 1 3.50 1 0 0 0 99 0.00 0 0.00 0 0 0.00 1 0 0 0 99 0.00 0 0.00 0 0 0.00 0 0 0 0100 0.00 0 0.00 0 0 0.00 0 0 0 1 99 ---- Does that mean that the hdd is busy during the 'zero-lines' while there is no more data transfer through the IO controller? The 3.5 seconds cannot be a real meassured value, because they were recorded during a span of 1 second. So the transfer actually has to extend to the next 3 seconds. But there it is no longer displayed in the statistics. (I hope you know what I want to say.) So I think the problem is my hdd. What do you think?
