issues with oe.org website

[Rolf Leggewie]

Hi,

something seems to be wrong with the server that openembedded.org runs on.

hvontres reminded me that I do have a shell account on linuxtogo.org who 
kindly host the site and other things.  Thus I think I was able to 
dispell the first belief that the machine is just plain and simple 
overloaded.  Looking at top, I frequently see the machine going up to a 
load of 20 over extended periods of time.  At the same time, the CPU is 
around 90% idle.  Is there something I/O-bound? kernel bug (as suggested 
by wirelessdreamer on IRC)?  Imminent hardware-failure?

Certainly something to look into.

Regards

Rolf

This is probably totally unrelated but I thought I'd mention it 
nonetheless.  When looking at man-pages, I frequently get

~$ man joe
grotty:/tmp/zmanpmKdtY:14307:fatal error: output error

right, we noticed the same some days ago. For some reason that effect was gone
when I checked later. I suspect a problem with the combination of I/O throughput
(maybe a bad driver) and swapping. I am going to look into this as soon as I am
back home next week.
