No RAID here, just LVM - not too different from the default redhat-style setup of the system drives (except the additional SAN stuff and DB). Anyway, if the drives are the cause, then riddle me this: scp test.tar.gz bad-server:/dev/null Fast to the healthy siblings, slow to the sick machine. Could the network be the problem? I doubt it. Each system has 4 physical Ethernet ports, bonded two by two. Each bonded pair is connected to a different VLAN. This system is slow on both VLANs. In any case, the explanation would have to account for the fact that network transfers, *and* local disk activity, are both slow. -- Florin Andrei http://florin.myip.org/
