hi, Just a short question, i am running vmstat on my dns checking why the response of the server is bad, vmstat is runing every 10 seconds and this is what i see procs memory page disks faults cpu r b w avm fre flt re pi po fr sr f0 w0 in sy cs us sy id 0 2 0 38508 552 79 25 47 8 13 3508 0 51 1038 342 56 1 20 80 0 2 0 38412 1192 83 35 43 12 9 3580 0 52 1026 341 55 1 18 81 0 2 0 34240 812 67 14 44 6 10 1422 0 49 1089 481 51 3 18 79 0 0 0 38412 556 17 3 11 0 3 161 0 12 440 423 23 2 6 92 0 0 0 38412 352 3 0 2 0 2 0 0 2 275 309 10 1 2 98 0 2 0 42680 432 8 0 4 0 5 288 0 5 332 438 22 1 4 95 0 0 0 42680 176 3 0 3 0 1 0 0 3 297 303 9 1 2 98 when disk activity went up to around 50, the responses to nslookup enquiries went down. And i found out that page fault went up the same time as disk activities. May i know what page fault actually do and how do i tune the system to reduce that? DNS is running on P75 FreeBSD 2.1.0 16MB on ep0 with IDE drive. I have a plan to upgrade to P133 with SCSI drive with 32MB. Thanx. rgds, sc khoo
