[Bug 135016] Re: Evolution prevents nfs server from working when synchronising folders

2007-08-30 Thread RichardKinder
Not at all. The issue is that evolution is opening lots of small files on the local hard disk (not via NFS - I'm running an NFS server, not client), which resource starves the NFS server running on the same box. I highly doubt this problem is isolated to evolution, but since it's the application th

I beg to differ - this is a bug (albeit a bit of a touchy-feely bug with little hard data). Probably kernel related more than anything (lots of small files being opened/closed, causing excessive interrupt load/busy waiting). Possibly even the SATA disk/drivers doing bad things (haven't looked at th
