I am requesting help to figure out why a server is slow. Redhat EL 5 was installed and I am looking through it to figure out why it is slow. It is running Dual Core Xeon 3Ghz and the harddrive is only 6% full but the system takes 3 min to load a terminal. Any thoughts on what could be the cause? What could be some common items which could cause this?How much RAM does it have? (I've seen some BIOS crap out on 4 or 8GB)Sounds like a load issue, what is the output of "uptime" command? Also do "free -m" and "df -h"4G Ramuptime 21:00 because I just restarted it before that was several monthsfree -mmem free: 2712+/- buffer/cache: 3583Swap: 1983dh -h6% used /21% used /bootMake sure your resolvers are also set correctly: /etc/resolv.conf4G Ramuptime 21:00 because I just restarted it before that was several monthsfree -mmem free: 2712+/- buffer/cache: 3583Swap: 1983dh -h6% used /21% used /bootHe requested that you type uptime so we could see the load average... Not your actual uptime lol. Are you using a software, or hardware RAID?Sounds like DNS resolvers yup...load average is 0.00 0.03 0.06
