Why does RH7.3 do such thing?

[bluestatic]

I've install RH7.3 and some EDA software like ICFB in my PC, everything seems to be fine. The only problem bothered me is that each time after the system boot up, the system seem to run some kind of "self test" programme for a few minutes, and you can hear there are very heavy hard disk read/write. Everything become very slow, I never see such prolbem in other linux system.

I'm wondering how can I get rid of it, pls help.

You can close most of services such as "sendmail",etc.

 

[onioni]

you can do this:
1. $> chkconfig --list
(check if the sevice "kuzdu" is on)
2. $> chkconfig --level 3 kudzu off

or

$> chkconfig --level 5 kudzu off

You can stop any service logging in as root and typing this command:

service service_name stop

ie. for sendmail:

service sendmail stop

how to close the sendmail?
newbie.

An easy way:

Assume you have running in runlevel-5 (GUI based)
first be root (su)

cd /etc/init.d/rc5.d/

remove a symbolic link starts with @SMMSendmail
where MM is a number like 45, 89 etc.

If you have other run-levels do it for that runlevels (3, ....).


tnx

May be you run updatedb in crontab.
first be root , type:

crontab -e

this will open your crontab file using vi editor.Delete the entry related to updatedb

Hi,

I don't know your hardware configuration. But I don't think RH7.3 is still a good choice now. Use RH8.0 or FC1 instead. Don' use RH9.

 

[HanGu]

Rh7.3 is not a good choice .Rh8.0 is not good too,it's too slow,but better than rh7.3.
Debian is my choice.it is faster , more flexible and more stable.
