Hi,
About a week ago I described a problem about some of
our workstations locking up under stress.
The complete workstation would die and eventually
come back with the following message appearing on the
console:
"zs3: Ring buffer Overflow"
Replies suggest that its the Serial Buffer filling up
(due to input from keyboard and mouse) and the operating system
cant handle it. A number of people stated that 2.3 doesnt work
very well under stress and I should move to 2.4 where its better.
I also got a suggestion to apply patch 101493-01 which improves the
performance. I've done this and am awaiting comments back from the
users who were having the problems.....................
Finally, It was also suggested that I should check the actual
physical connections on the serial ports as sometimes a bad
connection can generate alot of noise. I've done this and
again am awaiting comments from the users concerned.
