Unnessary disk access
i just installed Arch Duke some hours ago and then i did "pacman -Syu". everything is running fine but sometimes, 1-3 times a day, i see unnecessary disk-access. when you access the disk e.g copying the files from one place to the other then you can see the red LED of the cabinet (representing the Hard-Disk) glowing.
i did not set up any cron jobs and nothing is running right now but my OS is accessing the hard-disk, continuously for 10 min. why this is happening ?

I do a guess: have you beagle running?
maybe a dump of "ps aux" would be nice, then we can maybe identify what's causing it...

Firefox is a very busy piece of software. It's using large amounts of CPU time and disk access. It puts my usage at low priority, so I have to wait for some time to be able to use my pointer or keyboard. I don't know what it uses all that CPU and disk access time for, but it's of no use to me. It often takes off with massive use of resources when I'm not doing anything, and I may not have use of my pointer for several minutes. How can I shut down most of this so I can use the browser to get my work done. I just want to use the web site access part of the software, and drop all the extra. I don't want Firefox to be able to recover after a crash. I just want to browse with a minimum of interference from Firefox. I would think that this is the most commonly asked question.

Time Capsule disk access SLOW! 2TB - Dual band
I have a Time Capsule (2TB, Dual Band, Firmare at 7.4.2)
Its been working like a dream, backing up 3 Macs for the last 8 months.
I also use it for connecting two or three other disks via USB and then making those accessible over the LAN, and there is also about 100GB of data on the Time capsule disk itself that i use as a dump for files so i can get to them from anywhere on my LAN.
Lately I started to notice EXTREMELY slow disk access, even when i am connected via ethernet (1000 base) - and equally when I am connected via wifi (n)
for example, copying over a 2Mb photo can take minutes when it should take seconds.
i've been trying to figure out whats going on here for a while and so i checked out the sizes of the backup files.. the sparseimages that time machine creates.
one of them was nearly 1TB, while another was around 500GB and the other was around 120GB
that plus my data meant there was only about 300GB free on the 2TB disk.
I have a feeling the slowness could be down to extreme fragmentation of the drive... ??
so i decided to dump the backup files and copy off my other data and do a erase of the disk and start again.. but get this.. i can't even delete the 1TB file ! I have been trying for about 3 days now and it just will not delete.. i get the Deleting msg box and it just sits there, literally ALL night...
i know it isn't just hanging on the Mac (10.6.4) because deleting the other two images also took a long time (but not this long!)
i can't just wipe the disk now because i can't get my other data off either.. I have tried copying it over the network and onto a USB disk connected directly to the Time Capsule, but 3 days later and i'm still copying files..
to put some context into this, I copied over 1.8Gb today and it took about 4 hours...
has anyone had this problem before?? what on earth is going on?? is it down to fragmentation, or something else?? the TC has been working fine up until a few weeks ago when i started to notice slow speed.
any ideas ?
thanks
Adamif anyone ever has this issue ....
it must have been EXTREME fragmentation. I bought another 2TB external disk, connected it to the TC, did a complete archive, which took around 24 hours... then i wiped the TC and put stuff back... it now works fine again... -
Error "NOTICE: [0] disk access failed" during guest domain network booting
Hi,
Could you please tell me what is the problem with my configuration?
I created guest domain on my T1000 server.
As a disk I used disk from disk array: /dev/dsk/c0t18d0
I added disk using commands:
# ldm add-vdsdev /dev/dsk/c0t18d0 vol1@primary-vds0
# ldm add-vdisk vdisk1 vol1@primary-vds0 myldom1
# ldm set-variable auto-boot\?=false myldom1
# ldm set-variable boot-device=/virtual-devices@100/channel-devices@200/disk@0 myldom1
Then I logged to guest domain and booted from network to install OS from JumpStart server:
{0} ok boot net - install
Boot device: /virtual-devices@100/channel-devices@200/network@0 File and args: - install

Kind regards,

There was a wrong disk name:

I changed to c0t18d0s2 and now I sucessfuly installed OS from Jumpstart. -
I am wondering about disk access I have a Toshiba 505-890 running Win-7
I notice that I am getting a disk access about every second as per the disk access light
coming on.
On my Win XP mach I don't get a light unless the computer is doing something for the most part.
Definitely not accessing every second.
I was wondering if this problem is endemic to win 7 or some Toshiba program I have not removed.?
If I put a clean install of win 7 will I still have this problem???This program is not giving me much info on what is doing the disk access.
I have attached a pic of what it comes up with.

Windows 2008 R2 Hyper-V has really slow VMs disk access
Wondering if anyone can help? I have noticed in a couple of Windows Server 2008 R2 Hyper-V scenarios, that the VM guests are often very slow. Disk access is especially slow.
In one situation their was only a couple of guest VMs, and they were running of mirrored IDE HDDs. Performance improved significantly when I used two mirrored SSD hdds instead.
My other main situation is where the VHDs are stored on HP Lefthand P4300, over 2-nodes with 8 SATA hdds in each, using iSCSI.
So I ran a few tests with robocopy copying 4-6GB of files (mostly large) or whole VHDs (40GB or more), using HP4300 SATA, a newer HP 4330 SAS, a THECUS NAS with SATA hdds, and an SSD in a THECUS NAS, and local SAS mirrored hdds. All using iSCSI except
the local SAS hdds.
You can see from results that Guests run considerably slower than host. Any ideas?
Sample data (although not always same background conditions of load etc):
From within Guest direct iSCSI to same (from HP 4330): 34MB/s
From other Guest using VHD (from HP4300) to direct iSCSI (from HP4330): 14MB/s
From within Guest using VHD (from HP4330) to same: 9MB/s
From within Guest using VHD (from HP4300) to VHD (from HP4330): 11MB/s
From within Guest using VHD (from HP4330) to VHD (from HP4330): 19MB/s
From within Guest using VHD (from THECUS SSD) to same VHD (from THECUS SSD): 18MB/s
From within Guest using VHD (from HP4300) to VHD (from THECUS SSD): 13MB/s
From within Host from HP4300 iSCSI to HP4330 iSCSI: 12MB/s
From within Host using VHD (from THECUS SSD) to same VHD (from THECUS SSD): 40MB/s
From within Host from HP4330 iSCSI to same HP4330 iSCSI: 232MB/s & 132MB/s
From within Host from HP4330 iSCSI to HP4300 iSCSI: 40MB/s & 57MB/s
From within Host from HP4300 iSCSI to same HP4300 iSCSI: 26MB/s & 47MB/s
From within Host from HP4300 iSCSI to Guest VHD (from THECUS SATA): 15MB/sHi aucj,
I would suggest to use host level ISCSI connection then build VM on that ISCSI disk .
please add more Vcpu for that VM then try to copy again (shutdown the other VMs ,in that online VM from one folder to another folder ).
Hp4330 ISCSI connection is 1GB , right ?
If yes , it should be with max 100M/s with the single ISCSI connection .

USB Disk access "Extremely" Slow
I am unable to use my network disk essentially because the disk access write/read times are SO SLOW...I am better off running backups by connecting my disk directly to the compter. Does anyone else have this problem?
It took 5 Minutes to read my Music directory; connected directly via the same cable it takes seconds.
What gives?
Any help would be appreciated.I got my AE and Seagate FreeAgent Pro hard drive
yesturday and I have the exact same problem.
If I hook up the drive to the computer directly it is
very very fast.
If I hook it up to the AE it takes about 2 hours to
move a couple fils totaling 2 gigs over ETHERNET!
If I transfer the same files over the same network
between 2 computers the speed is much much faster.
Is this normal or some nasty firmware bug. It almost
feels like the AE is using USB 1.0 for some reason.
You guys are funny. How about checking out the specs of USB 2.0 and 802.11g/n?
Go here:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/802.11g#802.11g
and here:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/USB_2.0
Firewire vs. USB tests are here:
http://www.g4tv.com/techtvvault/features/39129/USB20_Versus_FireWirepg3.html
802.11g:
Release Date Op. Frequency Data Rate (Typ) Data Rate (Max) Range (Indoor)
June 2003 2.4 GHz 19 Mbit/s 54 Mbit/s ~35 meters
802.11n:
Release Date Op. Frequency Data Rate (Typ) Data Rate (Max) Range (Indoor)
Mid 2008 5 GHz and/or 2.4 GHz 74 Mbit/s 248 Mbit/s (2 stream) ~70 meters
Bottom line: 802.11n typical is 74Mbps, 802.11g typical is 19Mbps. USB 2.0 typical is 50Mbps.
On the average, you should expect your speed to drop by over 50% when connecting the USB drive to AESB using an 802.11g device. If your device is 802.11n, then you should have pretty much similar performance.
Now, if you increase the distance from your base station, or you put walls in between, the performance of 802.11g will go down "dramatically", all the way to 2-3Mbps, easy. Not so for 802.11n, which behaves much better at longer distances. -
Slow hard disk access --- still wonky
Hi,
Recently i've noticed that hard disk access has become very laggy, to the point
where it's driving me crazy.
For example, if i want to tab-complete through my directories, i have to wait a
few seconds each time. Similarly with saving files in vim, or just using
firefox, which seems to suffer frequent hangs while the disk is spinning.
I tried downgrading the kernel to 3.4.something, to no avail (it definitely used
to work just fine with the old kernels). I've also tried adding "commit=60" to
my fstab to reduce journalling access.
I ran bonnie++ and the following results came back:
Version 1.03e ------Sequential Output------ --Sequential Input- --Random-

t
which (by comparison with other results i've seen online) seem to indicate
there's nothing particularly wrong with the disk (it's a toshiba 7200rpm, i
think).
So i'm at a bit of a loss what to do next. I've attached my dmesg output. If
anyone has any suggestions, that would be awesome.

Thanks,
Matt

The lag tends to occur when first tabbing into a directory. On the second time
tabbing through things seem to be fast -- i guess that's cached somewhere.
editedit: i also tried switching back to initscripts, with no improvement, so i guess systemd is off the hook for the remaining problems

Extremely slow disk access iMac5.1
Hello, my daughter is having problems with her computer. She has a Mac5.1 ( intel ) running 10.4.11.
In the process of trying to determine the problem, I installed Xbench on her computer. The numbers for the disk access category are dismal, all others (although low) appear normal.
This disk values are:
Sequential 0.03
Uncached Write 0.01 0.01 MB/sec [4K blocks]
Uncached Write 0.17 0.10 MB/sec [256K blocks]
Uncached Read 60.40 17.68 MB/sec[4K blocks]
Uncached Read 86.73 43.59 MN/sec[256K blocks]
Random 1.35
Uncached Write 15.89 0.01 MB/sec [4K blocks]
Uncached Write 0.35 0.10 MB/sec [256K blocks]
Uncached Read 63.58 17.68 MB/sec[4K blocks]
Uncached Read 99.67 43.59 MN/sec[256K blocks
Aparently sequential access is much worse that random access however Apple utilities as well as Onyx claims that the disk is fine. However the computer is nearly unusable. What else can I try? I ran an fsck on the disk, I also caused the write permissions to be corrected. I am running out of ideas.
BTW her disk is a WDC WD160JS-40TGB0. Out of 148 Gig, 110 are used and about 40 are free.
Any Ideas? Any help is greatly appreciated.How much RAM does the iMac have and how many Applications are running concurrently or set to open at login?
40GB should be ample free space for V-RAM, but it could definitely get bogged down if there is to little RAM for the users needs.
Sometimes one will inadvertently set a bunch of stuff to automatically open at login. Go to: Apple > System Preferences > Accounts > Login Items and remove any unnecessary Application automatically set to open at login-in and then restart the computer.
Then again it could be that the HD is just suffering from age, if it has been thrashed because of continual page outs due to the lack of system memory. Because my Earlier 2006 Mac4,1 with 2GB of RAM that I upgraded (for space reasons) to a WD 320GB Hard Drive in 2009 is getting:

Fast User Switching-- Disk Access Error
I have created a Standard User Account with no Parental Controls. I have not had any problems whatsoever logging in to iVisit (video conferencing) as an Admin, but when I log into the Standard account, and try to log into iVisit (using the same log in information as my Admin account, and this is what iVisit suggests I can do) I get the following error message when I click the log in button:
Disk access error. Check free space and write permissions.
I've tried logging out of my Admin account first, then logging into the Standard account before I try iVisit, but that didn't work. I've opened up the Standard account as much as possible (I think) to remove any restrictions, and even selected the option to allow user to administer this computer, but that didn't work either.
Another piece to this puzzle, is that iVisit Help suggested that I install iVisit under the Standard User, just to be safe. But during the install process, the installer quits, and I get an error message that says it can't continue.
Does anybody know what's going on? I really appreciate any help! Thanks
Powerbook G4 1.33 Mhz Mac OS X (10.4.3) External OWC, 512 RAM, iSightI don't know anything about iVisit, but it sounds like it may not be behaving exactly as an OS X installer should — placing files in spots that only admins can access. I would try this as a next step:
1. Uninstall iVisit.
2. Make your standard account an admin.
3. Try and install iVisit through the newly admin'd standard account. Hopefully this avoids the error/crash.
4. Confirm that iVisit works through this account.
5. Switch it back to a standard account and test again.
I don't know if this will fix your problem, but it's worth a shot and may help narrow down the cause of the problem. -
[SOLVED] Long time with excessive disk access before system reboot.
I feel I would be grateful for some help here. It's my first go at Arch Linux having used Xubuntu for several years. It may be I'm missing something obvious but then I would be happy if someone could point me in the right direction.
Problem: When I do a system restart by issuing
$ systemctl reboot
I get the following output
Sending SIGTERM to remaining processes...
Sending SIGKILL to remaining processes...

Unmounted /sys/kernel/debug.
Unmounted /dev/hugepages.

mdadm: stopped /dev/md126
[ 1654.867177] Restarting system.
However, after the last line is printed, the system does not reboot immediately but hangs for about 2 minutes with heavy disk activity. I can't say if it is read or write or both, but the led of my HDD is lit constantly. When this activity stops, the machine reboots.
$ systemctl poweroff
works as expected, i.e. shuts down immediately without excessive disk access.
I see this behaviour both with the installed Arch system and when I run the live installation/recovery CD. It is also the same if I boot into the busybox rescue shell and then restarts the machine from there. It also does not seem to matter if any partition on the disk is is mounted or not, the behaviour is always the same with 2 min. heavy activity before reboot.
System setup:
Sony Vaio VPZ13. Intel Core i5 M460, 4GB ram, 2x64GB SSD in RAID0 configuration via bios setting (a.k.a. fake raid), partitioned like:
windows boot
windows system
linux swap
linux "/"
linux "/home"
So it's a dual boot setup with Windows 7.
The raid array is assembled by mdadm, and I have mdadm_udev among my mkinitcpio.conf hooks (after blocks but before filesystems).

-- Reboot --
Since I have used Xubuntu without hassle for several years, I first thought the problem may be related to systemd reboot and something in my system setup. But I have tried the Fedora 17 live CD and rebooting there works as expected. So, since it works in one systemd distro, it should work with Arch as well.
Then I thought that it maybe had something to do with the raid-array, something along the lines of
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=752593
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=879327
But then I found the shutdown hook for mkinitcpio and now I see that the array is stopped and dissassembled. So thats not the problem either. (Or thats what I guess at least.)
Unfortunately I'm out of ideas. Any help would be grateful.
Last edited by wingbrant (2013-02-02 22:20:20)It turned out that the magic word for me was "reboot=pci" on the kernel command line. With that option set it works lika a charm The machine reboots nice and clean.

Disk Access Failed while Installing Solaris Container.
I have setup 5 guest domains together with the Control Domain.
$ ldm list
Name State Flags Cons VCPU Memory Util Uptime
primary active -t-cv SP 4 4G 0.8% 2d 2h 15m
secondary active -t--v 5000 4 2G 0.5% 3h 5m
dmz active -t--- 5001 8 2G 0.0% 46m
sunray inactive -----
application inactive -----
identity active -t--- 5002 4 4G 0.1% 1h 2m
In each of the guest domain, I plan to install a number of Solaris Containers to run different applications. While installing one Solaris container (zoneadm �z <zone name> install) in dmz domain, I start the installation/configuration (either zoneadm �z <zone name> install or zlogin �C <zone name>) of another Solaris container in identity domain. Everything starts OK until half way I get an error message as follow:
Jun 13 18:33:16 dmz vdc: NOTICE: [1] disk access failed.
The installation of the Solaris Container in dmz halts as soon as I see the message above. Nothing will work except a force stop in the Control Domain using ldm stop �f dmz and restart.
What happen to the Solaris Container installation/configuration in identity domain? It either continues the process without error or fails with the same error message shortly after. For example,
Jun 13 18:33:24 identity vdc: NOTICE: [1] disk access failed.
The vdisks for each guest domain are setup by following the steps on section �Using ZFS Over a Virtual Disk� in LDoms 1.0 Administration Guide. Each guest domain is booted from a disk image in the Control Domain and has two 9GB data vdisks (mapped to two physical 9GB disks on A5200 disk array) running ZFS striping. Each guest domain vdisks are serviced by a separate vdisk server.
Any idea?I am not sure if multiple virtual disk servers are officially supported under current LDoms release.
I had tried using only one virtual disk server. The same problem exhibited. I thought may be the vds was not able to keep up with the virtual disk I/O. That's why I setup multiple vds. -
PerfMon reporting dramatic disk access time increase on Oracle startup
Hi,
My oracle 10g (10.2.0.4) database is hosted on a windows 2003 server.
The datafiles are stored on a RAID1 disk array, on a dedicated partition : currently 30 gigs free out of 180, wich should not be a concern unless i'm wrong, because the datafiles were created as 10 Go files with no autogrowth. I add a new datafile whenever i need more room for my tables (alerts when 80% used).
Since 2 days i experience a dramatic performance loss :
The EM console reports nothing special (no alarms related to storage) apart from the need for more paginated memory.
I issue a reorg when the segmentation advisor suggests it.
My optimizer statistics are calculated by the default scheduled job.
The weird thing I noticed is that as soon as I start the database, there's a huge increase in disk activity even though no query at all is submitted to the database.
PerfMon reports Current Disk Queue Length > 1000 and disk access time > 3000 ms
CPU is 2% activity on the 4-cpus server.
I have plenty of spare memory (currently 3 Go used out of 16).
This is only a dev server for ETL processes, it has very few concurrent connections.
Any suggestions welcome.

------------------------------------------------------------- Now have a serious look at it. Av Rd(ms). Now for some tablespace value cannot event fit in window thats why its showing ##
According to oracle recommendation Av Rd(ms) shouldn't be greater then 20, if its goes over 20 then its considered to be an issue with IO subsystem. But as its seen that in your case its overshooting.
Now the question from my side
Have done any configuration changes?
I would suggest you to revert these changes asap and contact storage admin guys...
Hope this helps -
New iPod catagory and Disk access problem
OK, what is the new "Other" catagory along with the Audio Video and Games that are at the bottom of the iPod screen. It has about 80 MB of stuff on my iPod, but I have no idea what.
Also, iTunes says that Disk Access is off (Unchecked) but I can see and access the iPod as a drive. I've tried to turn it off by using the buttons but I can't even get it to reset. I have updated the iPod to 1.2. Every time I use it as a drive when I get it back home and try to update I get the "Delayed write failed" error and have to reformat the iPod so I can update it. I've given up on using it as a portable drive and just want to turn disk access off so I can charge from any computer.But I have no podcasts though. All I have is Music and Videos, no pictures, podcasts, TV Shows, Games or Movies. Although, I just checked and I do have the few games that came with the iPod.

EA4500 and Non-Anonymous Disk Access
Purchased an EA4500 this weekend and overall it's working well. Running into what seems like a bug however with the NAS settings in firmware 2.0.37. If I enable "anonymous disk access" I can use the attached USB hard drive no problem, as soon as I turn off that setting and try to setup a user it's a no-go. Windows 7 reports that the device can not be found, and in fact the icon for it will immediately disappear from the list of network devices within a few seconds of changing the radio button and clicking "save".
It's behaving as if it's in a different workgroup than the PC's. I just have the workgroup set to the Windows 7 default of "WORKGROUP" and have the EA4500 set to the same.
Is this a known bug with this device and firmware combination, or am I missing something obvious?Jake_2.0 wrote:
By default, Anonymous Disk Access specify whether users have read-and-write or read-only access to the folder. How about if you try to map the netework drive after disabling that feature and see if the harddrive will be detected.
That's incorrect. When it is enabled, users on the LAN can access the drive without having to enter in the credentials of one of the accounts set up in the router.
When it's disabled, then users have to enter in the correct credentials of one of the registered accounts to be able to access the drive.
The read/write access in parentheses which you are referring to is meant to make users aware what privileges an anonymous user will have.
I don't work for Cisco. I'm just here to help.

How do I save an image after I have zoomed in on it? I can't work out why I can't save a zoom-in the same way I can save a cropped image or an adjusted image. Thanks, Lily A.

I have a Prime account with Amazon. I've been watching some shows the past week with no problem through my 4S running 7.1. Last night the connection to Apple TV kept dropping. It must have happened at least six to eight times for no reason at all.
