Crashing TUX

[Nicolas Van Eenaeme]

Hi all,

 

I'm running TUX on a popular website here in Belgium (>2.000.000 pageviews /
day) and I use it to serve all my static content (images, css, .).

This works great. The average load on my server stays below 1. But after
each period of 5 days (average) the load suddenly goes to 6 or above (I can
see this on my MRTG stats) and it takes ages to serve a simple image. If
this happens the only way to fix it is to reboot my server. It's strange
because this happens early in the morning (usually between 5 - 7 am.) when
there are almost no users on the site.

 

Is there somebody who can help me or do you have some suggestions for me how
I can fix this? I'm running the 2.4 kernel.

 

Thanks in advance,

Nicolas Van Eenaeme
