- TITLE: Reduction in Disk Write Speeds
- DOCUMENT ID#: TB.P.301
- DATE: 3 March 1992
- PRODUCT: NetWare
- PRODUCT REVISION: v3.1x
- SUPERSEDES: N/A
-
- SYMPTOM: Reduction in File Server Disk Write Speeds
-
- ISSUE/PROBLEM
-
- NetWare v3.10 and v3.11 users have occasionally reported seeing a
- reduction in write speeds to file server disks. Although the exact
- cause and context of this is not yet known, the speed reduction
- arises principally with heavy disk writes on a network with light
- traffic and fast (16- or 32-bit) LAN adapters in its network nodes.
- No symptoms of data corruption or other system danger have been
- reported in conjunction with the write speed reduction. This
- anomaly has not been reported on file servers
- running NetWare v3.0.
-
- SOLUTION
-
- Novell is pursuing a solution to this issue. A follow-up Technical
- Bulletin will be released when a solution is available.
