Software RAID1 Disk I/O

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]



I just installed CentOS 5.4 64 bit release on a 1.9ghz CPU with 8gB of
RAM.  It has 2 Western Digital 1.5TB SATA2 drives in RAID1.

[root@server ~]# df -h
Filesystem            Size  Used Avail Use% Mounted on
/dev/md2              1.4T  1.4G  1.3T   1% /
/dev/md0               99M   19M   76M  20% /boot
tmpfs                 4.0G     0  4.0G   0% /dev/shm
[root@server ~]#

Its barebones right now.  Nothing really running.  I intended to move
our current email server over to it eventually.  The thing is slow as
mud due to disk I/O though.  I have no idea whats going on.

Here is a bit of iostat -x output.

[root@server ~]# iostat -x

Does anyone have an idea what I have wrong here?  This is my first
software RAID install.  Built a number of Centos servers without RAID
and they have all worked fine.
