I had the raid6 limited to 90000 kbytes/sec but my system was
unresponsive, I dropped it down to 85000 kbytes/sec it was a bit better, I
reduced to 75000 kbytes/sec:
508 echo 85000 > /sys/block/md3/md/sync_speed_max
509 echo 75000 > /sys/block/md3/md/sync_speed_max
And while my system was still a bit lagged, I could use it, it seems like
something should go into the kernel so it does not monopolize the system,
the raid6 processes:
PID USER PR NI VIRT SWAP RES SHR S %CPU %MEM TIME P COMMAND
676 root 15 -5 0 0 0 0 R 100 0.0 131:29 2 md3_raid5
23331 root 15 -5 0 0 0 0 D 36 0.0 17:26 0 md3_resync
The RAID1 (2 separate disks) should not be affected on a quad core system?
Justin.
