NOVELL TECHNICAL BULLETIN TITLE: Reduction in Disk Write Speeds DOCUMENT ID#: TB.P.301 DATE: 3 March 1992 PRODUCT: NetWare PRODUCT REVISION: v3.1x SUPERSEDES: N/A SYMPTOM: Reduction in File Server Disk Write Speeds ISSUE/PROBLEM NetWare v3.10 and v3.11 users have occasionally reported seeing a reduction in write speeds to file server disks. Although the exact cause and context of this is not yet known, the speed reduction arises principally with heavy disk writes on a network with light traffic and fast (16- or 32-bit) LAN adapters in its network nodes. No symptoms of data corruption or other system danger have been reported in conjunction with the write speed reduction. This anomaly has not been reported on file servers running NetWare v3.0. SOLUTION Novell is pursuing a solution to this issue. A follow-up Technical Bulletin will be released when a solution is available.
