Selon Henrik Stoerner <henrik at hswn.dk>:
i'm moved my www directory on another disk, and now most of the iowait is on the other disk. i then moved www in ramdisk, and all the iowait disapeared !
Just checking - the [bbstatus] module in hobbitlaunch.cfg is disabled ? It should be, or you *will* have lots of disk I/O.
Yes, bbstatus is disabled, the i/o is clearly on the www directory; i didn't touch the data directory during my tests...
Your system is probably doing a great job of buffering the disk writes, but I really can't see what the big problem is.
well, all that i/o load hangs the server for a couple second, (pretty anoying while doing vi..), and i say a couple of "Whoops ! bb failed to send message - timeout" during the I/O load
that's why i wondered about disabling the generation of bb.html on some pagesets..
for now i think i'll have to stick in a better raid card (the default raid card on those server are pretty crummy...)
would it be possible to have those bb*.html page generated dynamicly ?
What OS are you running ?
i'm running redhat 3.0 on a compaq server with 2 CPU (1,1Ghz)
