netstat -etl very slow

Postby rikd » Wed Aug 08, 2007 16:58

Wonder if anyone has any tips on how to fix this...

I've a server running SL BE, and it provides
- torrent daemon (using BTG)
- Samba Server
- UPNP AV Media Server (Twonkymedia)
- FTP Server
- HTTP Server (Apache2)
- NXServer

The combination above results in quite a high number of transient connection, , i.e. quite a few connection setups and tear downs.

I've a problem with the nxserver, that once I've the torrent daemon running it timesout when clients connect. I've narrowed this down to the nxnode binary performing a 'netstat -etl' which timesout.
Doing the netstat -etl at the command line just hangs (2hrs at this point :()- almost as if netstat isn't getting the EOF of the /proc/net/tcp file.

doing a
# cat /proc/net/tcp | grep ' 0A '
gives me the output that netstat would give, and very quickly.

Any thoughts on what's going on here?

TIA
