Slow disk access while rsync - what should I tune?
Hello, I have a web-server (nginx + apache + mysql, FreeBSD 7.3) with many sites. Every night it creates a backup of /home on a separate disk. /home is a RAID1 mirror on Adaptec 3405 (128M write cache) with SAS drives; /backup is a single SATA drive on the same controller. Rsync creates backups using hardlinks, it stores 7 daily and 4 weekly copies. Total amount of data is ~300G and 11M of files. The server is under heavy web load every time (appox 100 queries/sec). Every time backup starts server slows down significantly, disk operations become very slow. It may take up to 10 seconds to stat() a file that is not in filesystem cache. At the same time, rsync on remote server does not affect disk load much, server works without slowdown. I think that problem can be caused by two reasons: * either bulk of reads on SATA /backup drive, that fills OS filesystem cache and many file access operations require real disk read. * or bulk of writes on /backup fills controller write cache and geom disk operations queue grown, causing all disk operations to wait. This is only my assumption of course, I may be wrong. How can I find a real reason of these slowdowns, to either conclude that it is not possible to solve this because of hardware/software limits, or tune my software/hardware system to make this all work at an acceptable speed? Here is my current sysctl setup (what should I tune?): kern.maxvnodes=50 vfs.ufs.dirhash_maxmem=67108864 vfs.lookup_shared=1 kern.dirdelay=6 kern.metadelay=5 kern.filedelay=7 sysctl's counters (which others should I monitor?): vfs.numvnodes: 407690 vfs.ufs.dirhash_mem: 27158118 I tried to enable async (in hope it will make rsync faster) or even disable softupdates on /backup partition (in hope it will make rsync slower and OS filesytem cache will not be flushed by backups), it did not help. I also want to try to upgrate to Adaptec 5405 (it has 256M of write cache) or move mysql databases on a separate SAS disk, but I just not quite sure what will help better. What would I start from to diagnose the issue?

Making it write through a narrow pipe will also slow down the rate of disk accesses, so should help control the impact on other services on the machine. However, taking backups slowly makes it harder to ensure you have a consistent backup, so I recommend you investigate snapshotting the filesystem (well supported for UFS, trivially easy for ZFS) and then backup the snapshot as slowly as you like.

Ah... I was a bit confused as to why there was a copy hanging out in contrib, because it seems like it was imported primarily to FreeBSD in 2.2 (which contradicts the manpage as it states that it was imported in 7.2). I see it's over in DragonFly, but not in the other BSDs; it has a BSD license; doesn't denote any kind of proprietary info (leverages some of the FreeBSD isa(4) driver structures); doesn't have an external website for development; etc. I was also a bit confused why this directory wasn't iterated over in usr.sbin, but it appears to be missing from SUBDIR in usr.sbin/Makefile (wonder how many others are missing and whether or not the tools / apps really have any value, but that's another top for another thread). also in the in usr.sbin/pnpinfo/makefile there's a check for PC98 that i'm not sure is really needed.

Well, but there are other platforms, other than x86 that could benefit from using this tool (arm, mips, etc). There might be some bugs lurking in the code dealing with endianness, but that should be resolved first by enabling the tool for all platforms and fixing the cases one by one (unfortunately I don't have either architecture at my disposal, otherwise I'd test this out).

Yeah, and it's x86 specific. Kind of curious why there isn't a more generalized name for this API, but it appeared to be geared towards x86 (today, not so much according to LEGACY in io(4)).

dump cache performance
Hello, I took a look at the cache management for the dump command project on the freebsd.org project ideas page. http://www.freebsd.org/projects/ideas/ideas.html#p-extenddump It appears that modifying dump to use a shared cache in a very simple way (move the control structures to the shared segment and perform simple locking) yields substantial speed increases. A patch implementing this is attached. Some numbers follow. The test system is an intel core i5 750, with recent SATA disks. The tests all record an improvement with the shared cache, but the values vary widely from 7% to 236%. It would be interesting to have more tests on different configurations. Would someone be interested in reviewing the patch and/or perform more tests ? Regards, J.F. Dockes Some tests results === The command used in all cases is dump -0aC XX -f /dev/null filesystem The current dump actually uses 5 times the value of the -C option for cache. The patched version uses a single shared memory segment. So olddump -C 10 and newdump -C 50 are equivalent in terms of cache memory usage. --- Tests performed on a small slice (3.7GB/4GB). The filesystem is quite full, and has been pushed beyond full then partially pruned a few times to simulate one which would actually had a life. It contains a mix of /home/ user files (avg size 68 kB). Tests were run both in single disk and mirror mode. Mirrored slice Split cache -C 10: 18 MB/s Shared cache -C 10 : 42 MB/s (+133%) Same slice, without the mirroring Split cache -C 10: 11 MB/s Shared cache -C 50: 37 MB/s (+236%) Tests on /var (500 MB / 5 GB).

In other words, I think the commit is good. I'm biased, though. By the way, I also think it's better to issue a standby immediate command, not a sleep command. The former is reversible, i.e. the drive can spin up if required (for whatever reason), while the latter may require a hardware reset, according to the documentation.
