fs_threadcount

Bowker

In iw.cfg we have:

fs_threadcount=4

Running on a server with 4 "CPUs" assigned to us this makes some sense. I'm just wondering if that's an optimum number. I haven't found any documentation on how to adjust this value.

I'm thinking that more than 4 might be good since TS is pretty I/O intensive there probably is a lot of waiting around for data from disk.

Any opinions?

It was documented in the TeamSite Administrator's Guide (at least back in version 6.7.0). Since it seems to have gotten lost from the later manuals ...[indent]The file system threadcount should be set to twice the number of CPUs on your TeamSite server, but no higher than 8 unless the iwstat CLT consistently shows all eight file system threads in use. To change the file system threadcount, edit the fs_threadcount line in the [iwserver] section of iw.cfg. For example, if the system hosting the TeamSite server has two CPUs, set fs_threadcount as follows:[iwserver]
fs_threadcount=4You must restart the TeamSite server for this change to take effect.[/indent]Hope that helps.
