Hi, I've just installed a new backup system consisting of An IBM
TS3100 (
LTO5) with bacula 5.2.5 running on an openSUSE 12.1 x86_64 server. I'm having VERY low backup speed with 99.99% io usage from jbd2 and don't know what could be causing it. I see this behaviour only when running a job in bacula (a local backup or network with spool and without spool). I've tried intensive disk usage, intensive mysql usage and tape testing (tar and btape) and the problem doesn't occur. The root fs is ext4 w/journal. bacula is from this repository: http://download.opensuse.org/repositories/Archiving:/Backup:/Factory/openSUSE_12.1 This is what I see in iotop when backing up: Total DISK READ: 0.00 B/s | Total DISK WRITE: 433.97 K/s PID PRIO USER DISK READ DISK WRITE SWAPIN IO> COMMAND 350 be/3 root 0.00 B/s 3.91 K/s 0.00 % 99.99 % [jbd2/sda2-8] 2367 be/4 mysql 0.00 B/s 74.28 K/s 0.00 % 0.02 % mysqld --basedir=/usr --datadir=/var/lib/mysql --plugin-dir=/usr/lib64/~/var/run/mysql/mysqld.pid --socket=/var/run/mysql/mysql.sock --port=3306 [...] Client status when running a backup: listas Version: 5.0.2 (28 April 2010) x86_64-unknown-linux-gnu suse 5.x Daemon started 08-Feb-12 15:16, 3 Jobs run since started.
