Hi Gilbert,

re: Can we log onto Weather3 and poke around?

I just logged onto weather3 to see what I could see...

It appears that the slowness is associated with disk I/O.  I first
thought that you might be trying to write to an NFS mounted
file system, but I don't see anything that would indicate that
in the output from 'mount'.

Quick questions:

- how long has the high load average problem existed on weather3?

- how long has /media/WD Passport been mounted?

Cheers,

Tom
