[cobalt-users] Raq1

["Allen D. Harpham" <aharpham@xxxxxxxxx>]

HI everybody,

I am new to the list, so some of these questions might be rehash.  If so I
appologize.

I have a Raq1 with 64MB of RAM and a 9 GB Hard Drive.  We have been using
it for a little over a year.

There are currently about 60 sites on it, and I am using it for DNS.  I
have noticed the perl scripts are starting to slow it down and the CPU
usage at times is close to 100 percent.

I bought a Raq3i for any new sites, but I just got done moving a large
percentage of my users to the Raq1, so I don't want to spend a lot of time
moving them over to the new server.

Will adding additional memory to the Raq1 help matters any, I don't see
much if any swap being used.

I called McDonald's and associates, and they told me that they didn't have
much luck with the 64MB EDO RAM.  They would sell it to me, but if it
didn't work there would be a 5-15% restocking fee.

My second question is, were does all the / disk space go?  I haven't
looked real close, but when the Web log updates run, most of the space
gets used up.  Do you guys just move the /tmp directory to the home
partition?

Finally, what are the pros and cons for doing the destructive upgrade to
the Raq2 software?  Home much work?  I suppose I would have to go through
and redo alot of customer perl scripts because of the path changes.

TIA, Allen
