Disk io rate
I am using my linode as an OwnCloud server for about 4 non-heavy users.
Otherwise I have Piwik installed to monitor usage and that's about it.
Yet I get about 2-3 emails a week about high disk io rate. Usually the rate is around 2400.
Here are the top 10 entries when I run "iotop":
TID PRIO USER DISK READ DISK WRITE SWAPIN IO> COMMAND
3072 be/4 mysql 0.00 B/s 0.00 B/s 0.00 % 0.00 % mysqld
1 be/4 root 0.00 B/s 0.00 B/s 0.00 % 0.00 % init
2 be/4 root 0.00 B/s 0.00 B/s 0.00 % 0.00 % [kthreadd]
3 be/4 root 0.00 B/s 0.00 B/s 0.00 % 0.00 % [ksoftirqd/0]
5 be/0 root 0.00 B/s 0.00 B/s 0.00 % 0.00 % [kworker/0:0H]
6 be/4 root 0.00 B/s 0.00 B/s 0.00 % 0.00 % [kworker/u4:0]
3073 be/4 mysql 0.00 B/s 0.00 B/s 0.00 % 0.00 % mysqld
8 be/4 root 0.00 B/s 0.00 B/s 0.00 % 0.00 % [rcu_bh]
9 rt/4 root 0.00 B/s 0.00 B/s 0.00 % 0.00 % [migration/0]
10 rt/4 root 0.00 B/s 0.00 B/s 0.00 % 0.00 % [migration/1]
If I try to look at mysqld using "sudo lsof | grep mysqld" I get:
Is this generally considered to be a high disk io rate? Is it something to worry about or can I ignore it and simply raise the threshold in my Linode Manager?
