What Cut/Copy/Paste does is export to a tempfile, and reimport at the destination. So, copy/paste should never take longer than export/import.
The perceived "hanging" might just be "taking a really long period of time", or it may be caused by insufficient diskspace in your /tmp partition.
I see. Thanks for the info, this makes sense, partly at least: In spite the server seems to be hanging, it executes a few operations (about 20 in an hour for example), it's just incredible slow. When i direct my browser to do several requests it starts waiting for response, so i guess the orders are in a kinda queue at the server, is this right? What about the memory: Top shows a very high memory allocation: PID USER PRI NI SIZE RSS SHARE STAT %CPU %MEM TIME COMMAND 9201 nobody 16 5 299M 228M 1176 S N 2.9 91.1 5:21 python 9203 nobody 16 5 299M 228M 1176 S N 2.7 91.1 18:15 python The harddisk has 1,5G free space, it's one partition, there's in enough space in /tmp, i guess. My friend checks this at the moment. RAM according to dmesg: Memory: 256816k/262080k available (1249k kernel code, 4880k reserved, 513k data, 72k init, 0k highmem) later: Freeing unused kernel memory: 72k freed Adding Swap: 136512k swap-space (priority -1) Futhermore: Out of Memory: Killed process 3265 (python). Out of Memory: Killed process 3269 (python). ... etc. What does this tell me in this context? Needs more mem??? cu Florian -- Florian Konnertz --- http://www.florian-konnertz.de ------------------------------------------------------- http://openspirit.homelinux.net/noowiki/FrontPage Improved ZWiki about all topics, especially consciousness research and wisdom traditions http://www.openmovie.org multimedia project Have a nice day!
