Re: background fsck high load on 8.1

2011-04-12 Thread Steven Hartland
The cpu requirements are usually quite low for fsck, what your most likely seeing is disk contention due to the amount of IO. Personally I would recommend to consider moving to 8.2 + ZFS as our filing system as it removes fsck from the equation, as well as giving lots of other benefits. Regar

background fsck high load on 8.1

2011-04-12 Thread Sergi Seira
Hello, we've experienced that background fsck on 8.1 degrades server performance on a higher degree than in previous fbsd versions (6.3, 7.3; amd64). We've noticed it after upgrading - same hardware - to a 8.1-RELEASE. Now, performance of other services (i.e. apache, mysql) during a background
