Hi, |
2 |
|
3 |
sorry for the silly subject, but did you ever experience the following?: |
4 |
|
5 |
i have a fileserver, i copy a file to it - let's say 600MB. |
6 |
|
7 |
So about every 200MB (i guess the linux box writes the data into the |
8 |
cache in the RAM first) linux writes the harddisk. But during that time |
9 |
- during the time it writes that 200MB to disk, there is no chance for |
10 |
any other IO. I'm playing an mp3 from the very same fileserver. It stops |
11 |
playing, because the machine does answer the read-requests. |
12 |
|
13 |
So what's going on here? |
14 |
|
15 |
Why does Linux write so huge amounts of data to the disk? Why does Linux |
16 |
not stop writing for a while to fullfil the read-requests? And so on ... |
17 |
|
18 |
Any idea, on how to imrpove that? |
