Dear LVS Community,
I have having an issue with Software Interupts on my implementation of ipvsadm.
Here is the error:
Losing some ticks... checking if CPU frequency changed.
warning: many lost ticks.
Your time source seems to be instable or some driver is hogging interupts
rip _spin_unlock_irqrestore+0x2f/0x30
Falling back to HPET
When this happens, packets begin to drop and communication of any kinda with
the server becomes quite slow.
I am running the following:
Dell 1850 - Dual Xeon 3.0GHZ (HyperThreading disabled) - 3GB RAM
RedHat EL4 ES
Linux upstream 2.6.9-42.0.3.ELsmp #1 SMP Mon Sep 25 17:24:31 EDT 2006 x86_64
x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux
ipvsadm v1.24 2005/12/10 (compiled with getopt_long and IPVS v1.2.0)
I am doing transparent proxy on this machine. Core routers direct all port 80
traffic to this box. This box has iptables rules that mark filterd IPS with a
1. IPVSADM then load balances marked packets to 5 squid proxy machines. (More
information available upon request).
This load takes a few days to build up b4 it causes a failure and above error.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
