RE: Investigating high harddrive load

Somebody is probably reformatting your hard drive.

No, seriously you need to provide a LOT more information about your configuration for anyone to get the foggiest idea about what causes this.

What HW/OS? Are these disk reads or writes? What kind of modules do you use? PHP or no PHP? etc.

I once observed really poor performance on a server during a load test due to disk IO and associated wait-times. The IO operations were disk writes which was bizarre because nothing was supposed to be written to disk. It turned out being mod_ssl writing to the DBM-based SSL session cache. After changing it to shm the problem went away...

Objet :  Investigating high harddrive load

Hey people,

I would like to know if there is any way to debug what vhost is causing the high load on my harddrive, that I'm experiencing.
To be more specific:
When I run "top", 80% of my CPU time is in i/o wait. How could I find out, what vhost is causing this?

Regards,
Samy
