the number of files depends of the mails you have, that's not an evolution issue if the NFS server doesn't handle that correctly such not an evolution bug -- Evolution prevents nfs server from working when synchronising folders https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/135016 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Desktop Bugs, which is a bug contact for evolution in ubuntu. -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs
[Bug 135016] Re: Evolution prevents nfs server from working when synchronising folders
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 that exposes the (kernel/driver?) bug, it seemed the correct application to open the issue against. Apologies if this is incorrect. Just want to make it clear that I do know what I'm talking about here - just may not be making things clear :) -- Evolution prevents nfs server from working when synchronising folders https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/135016 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Desktop Bugs, which is a bug contact for evolution in ubuntu. -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs
[Bug 135016] Re: Evolution prevents nfs server from working when synchronising folders
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 the guts of that part of the kernel). Further information: If the evolution process is killed off halfway through the synchronisation, the nfs server recovers and allows connections again. This suggests resource starvation. What's particularly bad in this case is a userspace application is starving the nfs kernel server. Not your typical situation, but somewhat scary if multi-user systems are considered. Of course if it's related to bad hardware then there's nothing anyone can really do. However, since I have no other indications that the problem is hardware related (no kernel log messages screaming out at me, no funny sounds from the HD) I think this is just an issue with balancing the system. Reducing the load evolution puts on the system would be the workaround/fix. I'll leave this as invalid, but if I find any other cases where evolution is resource starving my machine, I'll reopen. I'll also test this out on the next release when it comes out.

Looking at the 'top' output - the system is almost totally blocked on I/O.
