Just trying this on a switch over.

I now notice something else.

It is taking about 10 to 20 minutes for INN to restart.

On the server that was replaced less than one.

I just went from ovdb to tradoverview but still slow.

I also did an fsck and usually the fsck would take 10 minutes.

The last one took 30 minutes and mostly on the news partition.

Right I am using BSD/OS 4.3.1 with 4GB RAM 2  3.0GHz Xeon and a S2753-8M
Motherboard.  

What could be the causes for INN to act so slow?
