Re: CPU usage for AFP


You should at the *very* least move your MS fonts to somewhere besides the home folder. You may want to consider redirecting the entire ~/Library folder. Your goal needs to be to minimize the number of client file read/access requests. You should take a brief sample (5-10 seconds) of fs_usage while the server is sluggish and see what is being read/written.

Upgrading to 10.4 wouldn't hurt either, AFS was updated a couple of times between 10.3.9 and 10.4.4.

Well, what has changed in your setup since a week ago? 
No.
Did you upgrade
your client machines to 10.4.4? 
No... I am still on 10.3.9
Did you have users start using Mail.app?
We are using the damn Eudora.

OpenFork and getattrlist messages are normal for AFP working. Excessive
numbers of them mean that you are having an excessive number of file
reads/accesses by your clients. Do your clients have Spotlight running?

the clients on 10.3.9 as well.

Have you redirected your browser caches to local volumes? 
for some of them yes.
Are you running
MS Office with font files on the server? I am not running network library fonts but using ms fonts is in their home directory library. should I move that to local dir?
