Hi. I've just set up a coda server for my home on a i386 Linux 2.2 machine. When I run codasrv.init start, codasrv is started and starts using 100% of available CPU. The howto says that codasrv does a "fsck-type" check on boot, so I waited for awhile to see if it would finish. After three hours, it was still using 100% of cpu (BTW, 15% user and 75% system). It never gets to the point where it has completed booting and other clients can connect. Coda looks cool, I'm looking to use it instead of NFS for my MP3's and sharing home directories accross machines. I'm not really in the mood for repartitioning the drive on my server though. What is the effect on performance of using files and directories on the normal ext2 filesystem? I'm not planning to do any signifigantly intensive tasks, mostly streaming of MP3's and accessing files (I hope to have everything cached, at least on my laptop so I can take advantage of disconnected operation). The LAN is 10mb and there will be a max on one simaltanious client actually accessing files. Server version is 5.2.7. Here is as far as the log files get: 18:04:51 New SrvLog started at Sun Jun 27 18:04:51 1999 18:04:51 Resource limit on data size are set to 2147483647 18:04:51 Server etext 0x80fe4a2, edata 0x8139ca8 18:04:51 RvmType is Rvm 18:04:51 Main process doing a LWP_Init() 18:04:51 Main thread just did a RVM_SET_THREAD_DATA 18:04:51 Setting Rvm Truncate threshhold to 5.
