File Server Utilization on 33MHz and 486 Machines
Many 33MHz machines and 486 machines used as NetWare 286 file servers
report high utilization figures. (These high utilization reports have not
been observed in NetWare 386.) The typical utilization figure reported is
600%; utilization has been reported as high as 1500%. Although high
utilization is reported, these high figures are erroneous; no performance
degradation or data corruption is occurring.
The high utilization figures are caused by the code that interprets the
file server utilization. A variable within the operating system that
should be defined as a long integer is currently defined as a short
integer. The variable type will be changed in the next release of NetWare
286.
