CloudatCost IOWait Issues

dafyre

I saw one spike to 11.5% on mine about 11:30AM EST... mine are generally between 2 and 3 %.

I don't have any performance issues on this box at the moment... just doing a bit of piddling with it.

Mine was pretty bad last night. I constantly have issues when trying to upload files via sftp or scp anymore (php files usually). At this point I've pretty much given up on CloudatCost. Too bad I can't get a refund for all my Dev and BigDog instances.

Seems to be pretty snappy this morning. Anyone still seeing I/O issues?

scottalanmiller

Yes, still seeing issues. Here is our list, expanded by one new host added since the last list. Notice that the lowest IOWaits on the list are Digital Ocean (the one DO server that isn't super low is the log server which is BUSY) and the YL server (York Lab). That new server sits on the Drobo B800i iSCSI SAN with RAID 6. So that will give you an idea of how low IOWait should be on a very high latency, low performance, over the network SAN!!!!!

scottalanmiller

That's a crazy spike!!

gjacobse

OMG, 82%!!!

scottalanmiller

That's literally the highest IOWait I've ever seen.

Dang. I still think These IO issues caused some corruption on my CentOS box somehow.

Very possible.
