Disk writes

["carlosreimer" <carlosreimer@xxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi,

 

We've a fedora core 3 box with PostgreSQL 8.0.

 

There is some performance problems with the server and I discovered with vmstat tool that there is some process writing a lot of information in the disk subsystem.

 

I stopped the database and even so vmstat showed the same rates of disk writes.

 

I could I discover who is sending so many data to the disks?

 

Thanks in advance,

 

Reimer
