hi guys my raid1 server was disconected from power and it´s starting resync... ok no problem i set max speed to 1MB/s the problem is.... the CPU is waiting a lot i don´t know if raid1 resync program is consuming my CPU with wait eventos to ensure a 1MB/s of speed, since i don´t have anyother process running just resync at a slow speed could anyone check this? at /proc/ [root@friganso log]# cat /proc/version Linux version 2.6.26-ARCH (root@T-POWA-LX) (gcc version 4.3.1 20080724 (prerelease) (GCC) ) #1 SMP PREEMPT Sun Aug 10 14:04:12 CEST 2008 [root@friganso log]# cat /proc/mdstat Personalities : [raid1] md3 : active raid1 sdb4[1] sda4[0] 390074176 blocks [2/2] [UU] md2 : active raid1 sdb3[1] sda3[0] 68364480 blocks [2/2] [UU] [==>..................] resync = 11.9% (8152768/68364480) finish=732.5min speed=1369K/sec md1 : active raid1 sdb2[1] sda2[0] 29302464 blocks [2/2] [UU] md0 : active raid1 sdb1[1] sda1[0] 104320 blocks [2/2] [UU] unused devices: <none> at HTOP program what i see is this: 1 [||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||1.3%] Tasks: 368 total, 1 running 2 [||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||2.7%] Load average: 54.04 50.06 41.78 3 [||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||1.7%] Uptime: 00:57:52 4 [|||||||||||||||||| 1.8%] Avg: 0.3% sy: 1.1% ni: 0.0% hi: 0.0% si: 0.0% wa: 73.1% 5 [||||||||||||||||||||||||||||| 1.4%] Mem:16047M used:6556M buffers:0M cache:9411M 6 [||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||1.1%] Mem[||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||6556/16047MB] 7 [||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||1.0%] Swp[| 41/28615MB] 8 [|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||| 0.7%] Avg: 0.3% sy: 1.1% ni: 0.0% hi: 0.0% si: 0.0% wa: 73.1% wa=73.1%!!!!! and system is veeery slow, it´s dual a xeon DELL server model : 23 model name : Intel(R) Xeon(R) CPU E5410 @ 2.33GHz <- quad core, i have 2 cpus (physical id : 0, physical id : 1) i don´t know how to get this wa(maybe waiting) cpu percentage from /proc files -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-raid" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
