File IO very slow on RHEL6












0















I recently moved to RHEL6 santaigo OS. I am finding the file io operations like copy, file download taking a long time. This was not the case when I have used RHEL5 earlier. Could anyone suggest a possible way to troubleshoot the issue. The file system has two mounted devices.




  1. /dev/mapper/***

  2. /dev/sda1


Both are ext4 type.

    Check dmesg for any error messages related to the filesystem or partition devices.

I typically use strace, at least initially to start diagnosing an issue such as this.



$ strace -o some.log ..copy command...


You can then analyze the log, some.log to see if the copy command is getting hung up on a particular resource not being there.



You can also use a tool such as iostat to watch the performance between your storage devices as data is read/wrtiten to them.



Example



$ iostat 2

avg-cpu:  %user   %nice %system %iowait  %steal   %idle

          23.46    0.00    2.26    1.38    0.00   72.90

dm-0              0.00         0.00         0.00          0          0

dm-1              3.00         0.00        10.00          0         20

dm-2             16.00         0.00       210.00          0        420

dm-3              0.00         0.00         0.00          0          0

dm-4              0.00         0.00         0.00          0          0

dm-5              0.00         0.00         0.00          0          0

dm-6              0.00         0.00         0.00          0          0

dm-9              0.00         0.00         0.00          0          0

dm-10             0.00         0.00         0.00          0          0


You can narrow the focus of that tool to a specific device as well.

            How to rewrite equation of hyperbola in standard form

            Image
            2 $begingroup$ I was wondering about this question: $$ 9 x ^ 2 -4y^2-72x=0 $$ What is the step-by-step process of writing such an equation which, in this case, has the graph of a hyperbola in standard form? Please excuse me for my messy equation. As I am relatively new to Mathematics Stack Exchange, I do not know how to insert superscripts. Thank you ahead of time! calculus conic-sections share | cite | improve this question edited 2 hours ago Key Flex 8,637 6 12 33 asked 2 hours ago

            No ethernet ip address in my vocore2

            Image
            0 I just flashed my vocore2u with openwrt 18.06.1, and plug it with an ethernet cable to access network while setting up wireless access-point for my phone. The AP is working and connected to the network, but the ip in my phone is in the subnet of another router. And there's no ip assigned to my vocore2 so I cannot ssh into it. After connecting to vocore2 with serial terminal, ping 8.8.8.8 is also failed. How can I make my vocore2 gain ip from the router and setting up the network well? root@OpenWrt:/etc/config# ifconfig apcli0 Link encap:Ethernet HWaddr BA:D8:12:07:01:71 inet6 addr: fe80::b8d8:12ff:fe07:171/64 Scope:Link UP BROADCAST RUNNING MULTICAST MTU:1500 Metric:1 RX packets:0 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 frame:0 TX packets:0 erro
