Occasional CPU Max Out, Network Down - Page 2

CECSD · 04-26-2010, 11:58 AM

I'm using the 64bit Untangle 7.2 and experiencing random slowdowns and performance spikes. I can best describe it as hiccups in our network traffic, everything slows down for a short time but then clears, most times everything runs great. Concurrently I'm looking through the network for reasons, like a rogue computer with malware/spam but haven't found anything standing out in Attack blocker or other monitoring apps. I also noticed after updating to 7.2, my ram usage climbed at a steady rate and now has settled to 3.2 GB actively being used, I only installed 4 GB. The larger head room usage for Untangle must be due to something because I never previously reached the high CPU loads and ram usage. Everything worked stellar in previous times.

Specs: q6600 quad core at 2.4, 4 GB OCZ DDR2 800 MHz, Intel nics gt1000, Intel board

And yes, I've upgraded to 7.2

Also note that this installation is being run in a virtual machine using VMWare. However, this machine is not doing anything
else, its a dedicated box.

ick ick ick. You need to get a real hardware raid card. That software raid is garbage.
