I'm lacking some understanding of how to tune / when to tune /proc/sys/vm/bdflush Where can I read up on this? Our current problem: Load is low, but ever so often the system decides to do some serious disk I/O which causes all processes to wait for disk I/O -- load explodes (rises linear up into the 20-30ies) just to fall linearly (spelling?) right after that. We think there might be some serious buffer flushing going on, but we cannot put our finger on it. -- Ralf Hildebrandt (Im Auftrag des Referat V a) Ralf.Hildebrandt@charite.de Charite Campus Mitte Tel. +49 (0)30-450 570-155 Referat V a - Kommunikationsnetze - Fax. +49 (0)30-450 570-916 Why you can't find your system administrators: He's out getting a caffine fix. -- John Wanger jwagner@mental.mitre.org _______________________________________________ Ext3-users@redhat.com https://listman.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/ext3-users
