OK. I looked into another hard drive but budget right now says no. So, |
| 11 |
I went back to plan A. I managed to remove the 6TB drive and it is now |
| 12 |
on it's own LVM thingy. I've moved enough over to mount it and use it |
| 13 |
as my /home directory. I'm in the process of copying other non-critical |
| 14 |
files over so I can move things around some more. Anyway, I'm using |
| 15 |
rsync to copy things over. It works great, can restart if I need to |
| 16 |
stop it etc etc but it has one thing that annoys me. While it is |
| 17 |
copying things over, it makes my system slow to respond. Once the cache |
| 18 |
in memory gets pretty full, it takes a while to switch desktops or for |
| 19 |
programs to show up when I do get to a desktop. Seamonkey seems to be |
| 20 |
hit hardest with this. I tried putting ionice in front of the command |
| 21 |
but it is still slow. My CPU cores are a bit busy but nowhere near |
| 22 |
100%. Most cores are switching from almost idle to around 40% at their |
| 23 |
peak. If I added them all up, I'd say the total would average around |
| 24 |
10%, 20% at the very most. I've got swapiness set pretty low and it |
| 25 |
isn't using swap according to gkrellm. |
| 26 |
|
| 27 |
Anyone have a idea how to make rsync not cause this problem? Is there |
| 28 |
something besides ionice I need to use? |
