Device utilization with RAID-1

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

 



Since a long time I'm unhappy with the performance of my RAID-1 system.
Investigation with atop and iostat unveils that the disk utilization is
always on a certain level although nothing happens on the system. In the
case of reading or writing files the utilization boosts always to 100%
for a long time. Very ugly examples are "Firefox starting" or "zypper
updates".
That is snapshot of the output of iostat:


Device:         rrqm/s   wrqm/s     r/s     w/s   rsec/s   wsec/s

2,00     0,00    0,00   0,00   0,00

I checked with mdadm if a resync happens or so, but this is not the
case. The state says "active" on all RAID devices - btw. what is the
difference to "clean" ?

thanks for any hints,
  harald
