A friend and I are working on a small video-game related project as a hobby. We're running several scripts 24/7 that make lots of calls to a MySQL database. The mysql server process shows an average CPU use of 1% (reported by top) and it never goes above about 2% The tables it's hitting are myisam tables. I'm a little bit worried that the mysql process is using a lot of disk access. I don't know too much about hard disks but my feeling is that too much disk use could slow the machine down or cause a premature hard disk failure. WD Raptor model.
I don't know if my concerns are well-founded, but I would like to measure impact on the hard disk somehow. I don't know how to see disk I/O. I do know how to use top. How do I measure disk I/O? Any other thoughts? _______________________________________________ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "freebsd-questions-unsubscr...@freebsd.org"
