Subject: RAID1 extreme low performance
Date: Fri, 12 Dec 2008 13:47:31 +0100 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <26c008d70812120447kb91f8a1x6747bf5d4c7cfc0c@mail.gmail.com> (raw)
I all,
a couple of weeks ago I've updated the kernel (now I'm using .27-7)
and mdadm to version 2.6.7 and now I have terrible RAID1 performance:
during I/O operation I have 100% cpu utilization and all the system
freeze until the operation ends. Seeking and reading from the RAID is
extremely slow (sometime 4 or 5 seconds just to show an "ls -l"
output) and writing is even worst.
I've tested the same hard disk without RAID and It seem working well.
This is the output of mdadm -D /dev/md*
