1.3.3 i/o maxed out on Debian stretch/sid

i’m on buster i think, the debian 10 is called if its 10 lol latest one 2 months ago.
and tho i see a lot i io to my drives a raid 5 with 5 drives, the it doesn’t require any cpu or ram… i think the docker storagenode was at 100mb last i checked, tho it had been rebooted that day, but i’ve never seen it above like 300mb and cpu usage is on my 16threads usually in the single digits even tho its a couple of the slowest 10 year old xeons.

and my node is also only slightly less than 2 months so fragmentation isn’t an issue, am up to 6tb and all i really see if high io all the time… and have for a long long time, more io than a single hdd could keep up with…

sure there might be some new programming performance issues in 1.3.3

have you tried setting max concurrent to like 15… in the config.yaml i’m at 20
but i have 4 drives to soak up the data stream and io and 15 was to low for me recently.
that seemed to help me reduce my io… and it’s always disk io with store…
but think about it

in the last 24 hours i’ve served about 100000 uploads / downloads
thats a lot of roaming around the drive reading data… especially if the data is fragmented which it quickly can become if one fills up a hdd, seek time can be a killer for a hdd, because fragmented data can slow down a disk to a crawl.

else stuff like a write cache can help make the writes more sequential and thus lower io.

anyways try changing the max concurrent in the config.yaml in your storagenodes data folder
i think it helps a lot keeping the system and the internet running smooth.
it is a bit like without limitations the storagenode can just choke hdd’s or internet
