So temp tables created by mythfilldatabase are now innodb instead of myisam. These temp tables get written to disk at /var/lib/mysql. Because these temp tables are written to disk the ext4 journaler constantly runs against these files, causing a massive IO block. How to reproduce: 1. run: mythfilldatabase --refresh all 2. check iotop Example: Total DISK READ: 3.80 K/s | Total DISK WRITE: 322.99 K/s TID PRIO USER DISK READ DISK WRITE SWAPIN IO> COMMAND 329 be/3 root 0.00 B/s 0.00 B/s 0.00 % 99.50 % [jbd2/sda1-8] 1091 be/4 mysql 3.80 K/s 83.60 K/s 0.00 % 0.34 % mysqld In the past this process would run in a few minutes, with this IO blocking going on it takes hours.
