Hi.
I have 3 Dell 2850 with DELL PERC4 SCSI RAID5 6x300GB running lighttpd
serving flash video at around 200Mbit/s.
%grep amr /var/run/dmesg.boot
amr0: <LSILogic MegaRAID 1.53> mem

After some time of running under high load disk performance become
expremely poor. At that periods 'systat -vm 1' shows something like this:
Disks amrd0
KB/t 85.39
tps 5
MB/s 0.38
% busy 99
It shows 100% load and just 2-10 tps. There's nothing bad in
/var/log/messages or 'netstat -m' or 'vmstat -z' or anywhere else. This
continues 15 - 30 minutes or so and everything becomes fine again. After
some time - 10 - 12 hours it repeats.
Apart of all, I tried to make mutex profiling and here's the results
(sorted by the total number of acquisitions):

Here you can see that high UMA activity happens in periods of low disk
performance. But I'm not sure whether this is a root of the problem, not
a consequence.
I have similiar servers around doing the same things, and they work
fine. Also I had the same problem a year ago with another project and
that time nothing helped and i had to install Linux.
I can provide additional information regarding this server if needed.
What else can I try to solve the problem???
With best regards,
Alexey Popov
