Hi guys

I've recently aquired a new file server, it has 8GB ram, quad core xeon and 21x2TB sata2 raid10, 2gbit unmetered

I feel a little ripped off as it really cannot cope with the traffic

I'm running nginx to serve the static files (from 1MB to 6GB) with 10 workers and lunix-aio enabled

at busy times the loads averages are sky high and it really struggles, and if you start writing to the disks well all hell breaks loose and it hangs until writing is complete (I need writing as it is for uploads too, not very many though, say 10-20 a day tops)

It is not a bandwidth issue as I can download off the OS disks at full speed. Im at wits end with this one as it has cost me an absolute fortune.

Thanks in advance for any help and I hope to help the community with what I know in the future
