Hello,
I'd like to get some ideas over this, from more experienced users because I have no idea how to approach this problem.
I have an ebox 3350mx device, which runs as server on my home network. Runs services like: dnsmasq, afpd, sshd, torrents, tor, etc.
The device seems an excellent choice for small home server, since it's fanless and (in theory) should run most tasks smoothly.
The installed OS is FreeBSD 9.0 stable.
These are the system's specs (got them using 'sysinfo' script from ports):
The problem is that it's really slow lately. At the beginning it was running 'fine', slowing down the prompt results every now and then, but lately is utterly slow. When I type 'uname -a' sometimes I have to wait 20 seconds to get a result. Some times 'vim' opens a file as I hit enter and other times I have to wait 40 seconds.
In many situations 'uptime' show a load-avg of 0.00% ... Sometimes shows a load avg of 0.25% but the cli runs much more smoothly.
Things get worst - meaning unbearable - since my provider's problem got me offline the last couple of days. The only error I have seen in the system so far is sendmail related:
I don't know why, it keeps looking for 'qualified domain name'. I'll add a dyndns address for OpenVPN services. I don't know how sendmail works and how to fix this. I use postfix usually, but didn't get there yet.
Is there any way to make this thing go faster that you can think of?
Thanks for you time
