Re: AW: Checkout via http/webdav hangs

Hi Kevin,

hmmm... the checkout contains about 40 files. I suppose that doesn't fall in
the category "huge amounts of files". But you are right: the load on the
client increases, after a short time the client is at 1.

This is what the client does all the time:

clyprae_at_sclyds002 [global]:/opt/calypso/clyprae/eds > truss -v all -p 27523
recv(4, " a N j 8 X u r l w j 9 1".., 8192, 0) = 8192
pollsys(0xFFBFA7D0, 1, 0xFFBFA758, 0x00000000) = 1
        fd=4 ev=POLLIN rev=POLLIN
        timeout: 3600.000000000 sec
recv(4, " I 8 V e 1 6 1 x 8 U y 3".., 8192, 0) = 8192
pollsys(0xFFBFA7D0, 1, 0xFFBFA758, 0x00000000) = 1
        fd=4 ev=POLLIN rev=POLLIN
        timeout: 3600.000000000 sec
recv(4, " K e 8 g Y\n I 8 r f D o".., 8192, 0) = 8192
pollsys(0xFFBFA7D0, 1, 0xFFBFA758, 0x00000000) = 1
        fd=4 ev=POLLIN rev=POLLIN
        timeout: 3600.000000000 sec
recv(4, " u T Q n s S S / S C 8 r".., 8192, 0) = 8192
pollsys(0xFFBFA7D0, 1, 0xFFBFA758, 0x00000000) = 1
        fd=4 ev=POLLIN rev=POLLIN
        timeout: 3600.000000000 sec

With a quite low frequency - about 3 receives per second.

Thanks,

- Jan.
