[rrd-users] Disk I/O

[Boer, Martin]

Steve,

We have 20000+ rrdfiles which are being updated every 5 minutes on a 5
year old system with 2 CPU's and a very old version of rrdtool. 
I have to admit the system is quite busy with it but your AMD system
should perform effortless with 2000 files.

Regards,
Martin

I'd add to this, that we have issues with our machine which processes ~
2000 rrd files every 5 mins. The issue is the machine stalls for a very
noticeable amount of time sometimes up to 30+ seconds where no
interaction is possible.

I've raised this issue with the FreeBSD performance guys and will report
back if I find the cause.

N.B. Tested FreeBSD 6.2 and 7.0 both exhibit the same behaviour.
Machine is not small with a 8 disk raid 6 array and dual AMD 248 CPU's
with 2GB ram. OS tools so no swap usage.

    Regards
    Steve
