[mrtg] Re: Monitoring hard disk activity

[Tobias Oetiker]

Hi Thomas,

note that rrd updates are normally io-bound. running several
updates in parallel does not help it can even make things worse ...

adding faster disk and more memory will help ... also rescheduling
the updates, so that you can do several updates to a single rrd
file will help to.

cheers
