So freenet is running happily for a few days, but the load is frequently above 20 and my server gets unusable. I want to keep doing other stuff on it too. I'm trying to find a solution to get it in a workable state again (or I'll shut down my node).
But I didn't find enough info about tuning my freenet that I _really_ know what I'm doing. I need to ask someone. Having looked at some documentation, I saw 2 options in the config file I could use: maximumThreads and maxNodeConnections. Right or wrong? Setting maxNodeConnetions is preferred, putting a hard limit on the number of threads is ugly (or uglier). Right or wrong? Well, I decreased maxNodeConnections from 30 to 8, to see what it would do, expecting the number of threads to go down too... But what happens? The NodeInformationServlet gives me:- the number of 'Open Connections' is between 16 and 32, usually somewhere at 24. Why? I was expecting this to be 8. Does maxNodeConnections not have anything to do with the number of open connections?- in the 'Load Stats': usually 8 entries. (At the moment it's 9.) Are those the 8 connections, then?- The Thread factory tells me that at this moment there are 45 active threads and 18 available ones. Uhm... this is kind of much, I think... And I was kind of hoping to get that down with the maxNodeConnections setting, but that does not seem to be the case... Should I just set maximumThreads to 30 or something? Or is there another better option, to keep my node from going wild? Misc info: my node, with datastore of about 2GB, runs on a Sun Netra X1 (128MB RAM) under Linux (Debian Woody). It runs with Blackdown JVM 1.3.1 (which seems the only usable choice for linux/sparc. I tried the Kaffe .deb -1.0.6-7+.cvs20020411- but Kaffe often just quits without notice). I'm running build 494 (which is what is packaged for Debian unstable; I'm lazy when I can get away with it). --Roderik. _______________________________________________ support mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://hawk.freenetproject.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/support
