I have a DL360 with dual 1266MHz processors, 2GB memory, and two 18.2 GB
hard drives mirrored using the integrated controller. Partitions are
formatted as ext3. I have noticed that the backup is up to 10 times slower
than similar systems we have using ext2 instead of ext3. I am not utilizing
any of the journaling capabilities of the filesystem.
In addition, I have tried to upgrade the kernel from 2.4.7-10smp to
2.4.9-34smp. I have tried using RHN and building one manually. In each
case, the machine hangs after the "Uncompressing linux..." message
comes up
on the console. I have tried booting with 2.4.9-34 kernel with similar
results.
Disk Config:
[root@la_app2 opt]# df -h
