All, I am testing a Linux media server for the first time and was wondering if there were any kernel tuning parameters I should have. I am testing a Dell 2950 w/ 2 Dual Core 2.8GHz CPU's, w/ 16GB of memory, 5TB of disk storage attached via the San, and 4 fibre tape drives. My initial test was running 55 clients at one time to tape and the system handled it fine. Later, when I got my disk storage set up I ran 12 backups to disk and the system load was at about 16+ and I had a lot of blocked processes. Any comments or suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
