Can you please elaborate what the problem is? If you're copying from and to the same disk, your transfer speed of course is gonna be lower. Is it that you think it's too low? Thanks.

It will depend on a lot of parameters including readahead, disk fragmentation, copy buffer size, filesystem implementation and so on. > Yes I see > that at the moment of copying responsiveness of system zero (the system > sleeps, > and the processor heats air by 90% iowait) The lack of responsiveness could be caused by FS. There was related fix for ext3 lately but in general XFS tends to perform better responsiveness-wise. Also, iowait == idle w/ IOs in flight, so it won't be heating air. 90% iowait means that the cpu had nothing to do while waiting for io. > And plus (kernel 2.6.30-rc x86_64) > > time cp -r qt-x11-opensource-src-4.5.1 qt-x11-opensource-src-4.5.1-1 > real 5m51.075s > user 0m0.147s > sys 0m2.192s > > 302.6Mb / 351s = 0.9 Mb/s > > It too good speed?

I can't really understand what you tried to say above (were you trying to be sarcastic?), but yeah I'm on XFS too and small file ops feel quite slow. I saw many benchmarks saying xfs is better performer than ext3 and it indeed seems more responsive with a lot of IOs in flight but after several months of use I can't really say it feels faster than ext3. Please note that small file ops are dominated by seeking and flushing and may vary greatly depending on which mount option you're using, the filesystem layout and whatnot. At any rate, doesn't look like anything low level. cc'ing Andrew. Andrew, can you please take this over? I don't have much clue how to proceed and my crystal ball tells me this bug is gonna have a lot of confusion around it. :-P
(In reply to comment #4) Is not present what sarcasm. I can is not correct that has translated that into English, it can be. I cannot deny your words, to me is simple there is nothing to check up work ext3 in the same operations. Who can be will give results for a similar hard disk, well if is not present in couple of days we will close this question.
This should probably be moved to memory management judging by the 2.6.30 work
I use openSUSE therefore for me operation is natural The Menu-> YAST-> dialogue of input of the superuser password-> input password -> YAST window If copying or removal it is fulfilled looks so The Menu-> YAST-> dialogue of input of the superuser password-> input password -> without the answer (inquiries leave in anywhere or the latency is so great that the system simply breaks inquiry) After end of file operation all again works normally (under the first circuit). And it not only YAST, and all that demands the superuser password. Well simple copying so to load system cannot. http://www.rhic.bnl.gov/RCF/LiaisonMeeting/20061228/Other/xfs.html http://www.debian-administration.org/articles/388 I do not see a special difference between xfs and ext3, and besides >Debian Etch (kernel 2.6.15), distribution upgraded on April 18, 2006 >Processor : Intel Celeron 533 >RAM : 512MB RAM PC100 >Operations on a file tree (7500 files, 900 directories, 1.9GB) >The initial copy of the tree was quicker for Ext3 (158.3 secs) and XFS (166.1) File tree 1 (7443 files, 816 directories, 1.9GB) on my system yura@suse:~> time cp -r 1 2 real 2m42.864s user 0m0.081s sys 0m3.424s 2*60+42=162s, I use Core 2 Duo and SATA-2 (no Intel Celeron 533) http://linuxgazette.net/122/TWDT.html#piszcz COPY 2.6.14.4 KERNEL SOURCE TREE xfs - 44s REMOVE KERNEL 2.6.14.4 SOURCE TREE xfs - 9s yura@suse:~> time cp -r /usr/src/linux-2.6.30-rc6 /home/yura/ real 6m21.969s user 0m0.142s sys 0m2.785s yura@suse:~> time rm -fr /home/yura/linux-2.6.30-rc6 real 1m54.315s user 0m0.020s sys 0m1.619s

It's easy for testing through 'dd'. I cannot resolve this trouble by ionice for example - iowait is high even if i do a some i/o tasks ionice -c3 or ionice -c2 -n7 for example! So each server under kernel 2.6.18 and more (i read many topics) has this bug. A people in forums write that the kernel of 2.6.30-rc2 has bug too and that FreeBSD work quickly (mouse moving, video showing and some other CPU's tasks) during 'dd' testing unlike Linux ... I don't know what arguments do you want for finding this bug! This bug to be since 2007 year ... Please help!

I have forgotten to mention, if such small program as kcalc does not start for 1 second it not so well, well all right the system is occupied - for 3 seconds. But if at a copying file of 17 gigabytes start time kcalc 20-30 seconds, it already than not explainably. A disk 1000Gb from them 700Gb are free. Before copyings I have fulfilled a defragmentation of all disk. On operations with files 2 and 4 Gb we see that the disk works well and holds speed declared Seagate.
Same is here. I'm ready to provide any required info, but looks like everything already provided both in BUG-12309 and here. On russian forums people noticed only some hardware affected by this bug, maybe because of this it's so hard to find and fix it. Anybody checked related code changes between 2.6.17 and 2.6.18 (when this bug was introduced) or it's too dirty work?
(In reply to comment #6) > This should probably be moved to memory management judging by the 2.6.30 work Probably. But also it is possible, to task management, problems glibc and gcc, etc. And it is possible in general what does not concern. Simply there is an iron which demands defined the driver and these of the driver in itself (separately taken) work, but in not which combination they start to clash with each other, we and observe consequences of this conflict. Therefore we on one computers have a problem, and on other it are not present. But I cannot judge about it.
You do not like a word iowait, will forget about it, as about a by-product.

Please to see post # 360 http://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=12309 I think there found a some solution I didn't test but may be anybody will try it ?
Did anybody here resolve this bug ? I see a workaround only as an installing FreeBSD instead a Linux kernel version >= 2.6.18
Hard disk seek time is long, hard disks only get decent I/O rates when handling continous streamed data. Those are hard physics limits. There are things that feed into that - the size of the ext3 journal is one and configurable. In the ext3 case there were also performance problems with fsync() which shows up with current desktops badly as they tend to over use and misuse fsync a lot. 2.6.30 has some imprvements in that area.

Rather also it is rather convincing. I even have begun to doubt in the correctness.

7200.11 drives are notorious for various performance glitches. Most seemed to be blamed on the firmware but only Seagate would know what actually went down there. Looks like 7200.12 ironed out all those issues and works just fine. I don't know what you're experiencing is this issue tho. Are you saying that ST31000340AS is three times slower to delete files compared to WD1600AAJS on the same machine?
I think that i coped with a this bug ! I made some options of kernel and my server works stability and there are no frozen timeouts with high iowait already 10-12 hours! Detailed info: My kernel now is 2.6.22.14-72.fc6 Fedora Core 6 This the suggestion is not bug resolving (i think there is bug in kernel and it stays) but this is a workaround. I have read many topics and forums and stopped at these commands: # echo 50 > /proc/sys/vm/vfs_cache_pressure # echo deadline > /sys/block/DEVICE/queue/scheduler # # echo 1 > /sys/block/DEVICE/device/queue_depth # echo 1024 > /sys/block/DEVICE/queue/nr_requests The DEVICE is 'hda' or 'sda' for some HDDs. I didn't test queue_depth because for my HDDs (SAS SCSI + RAID10) this file is readonly (no there NCQ supporting as i think). But may be this command will help to you. I don't know. I suggest anybody who have a frozen timeouts with high iowait to try this turning I am very glad! Please to try this workaround. I didn't test 'dd' command but my heavy a HDD working has been freezing the server. Now i don't see this.

Are you saying that > ST31000340AS is three times slower to delete files compared to WD1600AAJS on > the same machine? 1. In Windows there are no problems. 2. I perfectly understand that manufacturers of iron give the information, the driver and other rubbish, first of all to microsoft. You have done errors to you and to eliminate these errors. 3. Why I cannot open Firefox (I expect more than two minutes) more precisely when file operations are executed. You have other super-super disk? You have a super heaped up file system? Perfectly. But I do not trust. Result to me a brand of a disk and tests of its operation - then it is possible to speak about something.
Yuriy, I'm having a lot of trouble following what you try to communicate. So, I suppose there's no significant performance difference between the two drives under Windows, right? Hmmmm... there have been some ext3 latency issues which have been fixed during 2.6.30 devel cycle. Can you please give a shot at 2.6.30? Thanks.
Kernel 2.6.30
I would put a film, but he is rather big on a size. And where to lay out him that it was more conveniently to look I do not know. Essence is in the following. Works ktorrent (5 megabit in a second, ~25 files, out). Ktorrent in a system tray. I press on an icon in the system tray of ktorren developed, and I see all list of distributions. I press on a dagger (to close a window) - ktorren convolves in a system tray. I unpack linux-2.6.31-rc1.tar.bz2 (right-click in Dolphin). Again I press on the icon of ktorren in a system tray and ktorren opened out (approximately after 3 seconds). But I see a simply white window 10-15 seconds. The list of distributions appears then. I press on a dagger. A window does not answer. Yet I wait 10-15 seconds and again press on a dagger the window of ktorren convolves however. At the next opening out I see a white window again.

I didn't test 'dd' command but > my heavy a HDD working has been freezing the server. Now i don't see this. I tried this work around and it seems that the iowaits are not dropping significantly. But the system is much more responsive with the high iowaits. The stalls are completely gone! Even if you leave NCQ on (not setting queue_depth to 1). Thank you Perlover for the hint. But still the issue remains...
> Thank you Perlover for the hint. > Yes, these commands (i think only a setting of deadline scheduler will be enough) helped to me. I administrate 10 SCSI servers in the different datacenters and with a different hardwares. And all 10 servers now work fine! Now there are not a frozen servers. May be now an iowait is kept and to be around 50-100% sometimes but now there no a frozen stops of operation system (before was a regular 10-40 seconds stops of OS many times in day with 99% iowait). All works smoothly. I didn't upgrade kernels, i use old 2.6.22.14-72.fc6 kernel version. And i will not try to upgrade because all 10 servers under high loading.
I'm finally tired of this bug - it's faster to boot windows, copy several films and boot linux again than just copy these films in linux. So I decided to change hardware, because AFAIK this bug happens only on some hardware. I've waited for several years until this bug will be fixed, but looks like only way to get full hdd i/o speed in modern linux is use different hardware. :( The question is, WHICH hardware I should buy? It would be hard enough to come into shop and take one-by-one several motherboards and hdd until I will be lucky enough to find one which work at full speed. Right now I've Core2Duo E6600 CPU (which I don't wanna change), so I need motherboard on LGA775 socket. My current motherboard is ASUS P5B-Deluxe (chipsets P965 and ICH8R, plus JMicron JMB363). My HDD is ST3320620AS Barracuda 7200.10 320GB. I'm not sure what exactly should be changed: motherboard, hdd or both. And I've no idea which hardware will works without that bug. Any recommendations?
Not enough information to even guess if your specific problem is hardware. In fact you've provided almost no information at all to even tell whether the problem you report is related to this report (which itself appears to be a mix of different bugss, some fixed some maybe not - hard to tell due to lack of info).
I've provided no information because I have exactly same bug as explained in this ticket: slow hdd i/o (about 20MB/sec while copying from /dev/zero to hdd, and about 10MB/sec while copying from hdd to hdd on same ext3 fs), plus high iowait while i/o operations, and of course very slow system while copying large files (probably because of high iowait).
That isn't the bug most of this ticket is reporting though. Lets start from the beginning bit. Copying to/from /dev/zero. What drive, what controller, what does dmesg report, what does hdparm -t, what file system are you using and what exact kernel revision ? On a decent core 2 duo I'd expect to see something like hdparm -t /dev/sda /dev/sda: Timing buffered disk reads: 274 MB in 3.00 seconds = 91.18 MB/sec as a base point. That is an Intel ICH10 based board with a WD drive. Slightly newer but not vastly so.
I can add more information: I suffer from this bug for several years, from about 2.6.18-2.6.19 kernel. One of my friends doesn't had that bug until he upgraded his hardware to ASUS P5KPL-AM SE with CPU Intel 5200. Another friend doesn't have this bug even now, he use 2.6.25 kernel and his hardware is Core 2 Quad Q9300 on Gigabyte EP35C-DS3R, with HDD SAMSUNG HD103UJ. Right now, on my system (kernel 2.6.28, and I have of course tried latests vanilla kernels too - with no luck): # dd if=/dev/zero of=test1 bs=1M count=2000 2000+0 records in 2000+0 records out 2097152000 bytes (2.1 GB) copied, 79.2394 s, 26.5 MB/s And this is iowait values while executing dd command: # vmstat 1 procs -----------memory---------- ---swap-- -----io---- -system-- ----cpu---- r

As for hardware itself - it's ok, in Windows file copying speed is about 60MB/s.
As for hdparm - it works as expected, no problems here: # hdparm -tT /dev/sda /dev/sda: Timing cached reads: 6292 MB in 2.00 seconds = 3150.38 MB/sec Timing buffered disk reads: 230 MB in 3.01 seconds = 76.33 MB/sec
Right so the drive and hardware performance is just fine. You didn't answer what file system you are using
> Right so the drive and hardware performance is just fine. Probably I misunderstood what you mean. If you wanna say copying files with 10MB/sec is just fine, and overall system slowdown while copying files also just fine, then I can't agree with you. Especially because it's modern enough system, and kernels before 2.6.18 works much faster, and windows also works at full speed without any interface slowdown. > You didn't answer what file system you are using Because that doesn't matter much. I've tried different file systems (ext3, reiserfs and vfat/fat32), and different configurations of i/o scheduler and vfs params as shown in Perlover's hint in this ticket's comment. In all cases it's copy files very slow, and also interface slow while copying too. In above examples I run dd on my root partition (ext3). Here is dd executed on vfat(fat32) partition: home /mnt/G # dd if=/dev/zero of=test1 bs=1M count=2000 2000+0 records in 2000+0 records out 2097152000 bytes (2.1 GB) copied, 70.333 s, 29.8 MB/s home /mnt/G # dd if=test1 of=test2 bs=1M 2000+0 records in 2000+0 records out 2097152000 bytes (2.1 GB) copied, 355.844 s, 5.9 MB/s home /mnt/G # time rm test1 test2 real 0m0.785s user 0m0.000s sys 0m0.197s The iowait in vmstat output while these tests on fat32 partition was same as in above tests on ext3 partition. All these tests was executed with settings recommended by Perlover above: home ~ # cat /sys/block/sda/queue/nr_requests 1024 home ~ # cat /sys/block/sda/device/queue_depth 1 home ~ # cat /sys/block/sda/queue/scheduler noop anticipatory [deadline] cfq home ~ # cat /proc/sys/vm/vfs_cache_pressure 50 Usually I use [cfq] and default values for others, but it makes no difference.
And here is dd output from my friend's system which doesn't have that bug (Core 2 Quad Q9300 on Gigabyte EP35C-DS3R, with HDD SAMSUNG HD103UJ): home /mnt/ext3 # dd if=/dev/zero of=test1 bs=1M count=8000 8000+0 records in 8000+0 records out 8388608000 bytes (8.4 GB) copied, 96.9127 s, 86.6 MB/s home /mnt/ext3 # dd if=test1 of=test2 bs=1M 8000+0 records in 8000+0 records out 8388608000 bytes (8.4 GB) copied, 186.208 s, 45.0 MB/s home /mnt/ext3 # hdparm -tT /dev/sda /dev/sda: Timing cached reads: 3730 MB in 2.00 seconds = 1865.60 MB/sec Timing buffered disk reads: 342 MB in 3.01 seconds = 113.76 MB/sec And I wanna MY system to work on same speed!!! :-(

For absolute cleanliness it is necessary to consider, when tested the kernel 2.6.30 disk was has been occupied on 10% - now on 60%
1. A graphic interface works quickly, while the operations of files are not executed. 2. At copying of the big directory in a browser page scrolling jams. Start of the new application becomes very slow. 3. If I compare old tests of speed of work of a file system (found on spaces of the internet) with measured by me - there is a wild mismatch (my speeds much less). 4. I always see iowait-> 100% If you consider it as different errors - probably. But I think that it is one error and its consequences. And I see improvements in a kernel 2.6.31 - but not on so much to remove this question.
100% iowait is expected - your computer is faster than the disk. The rest is not. How much memory does the system have and is it running a 32 or 64bit kernel ? #35 is what I'd expect to see - copy performance is lower than raw disk performance because the disks then have to seek more and seeking is very slow (doubly so on a laptop drive). The #35 numbers look sensible, yours do not. A very fragmented disk would see performance drop but the numbers look to bad for that to be the cause and you've also tried different file systems. [I'm basically trying to work out what is different between your set up which has problems and your friends set up which does not]

BTW, on my friend's system, which doesn't have this bug, I also see very high iowait and loadavg values while executing dd. But these high iowait/loadavg values doesn't result in overall system slowdown: interface works fast, and hdd works at full speed. So, looks like high iowait/loadavg values can't be used at sign of this bug, and we only have slower file copying speed than expected on this hdd, slow gui (like switching from one virtual desktop to another in fluxbox) while file copying, and slow application start while file copying. :(
I've just tried to use my friend's HDD in my computer. I've copied my linux partition to his hdd and boot from it. # hdparm -t /dev/sda /dev/sda: Timing buffered disk reads: 334 MB in 3.00 seconds = 111.28 MB/sec If I run 'dd if=/dev/zero of=test1 bs=1M count=8000' and will just wait until it finish, without doing anything else on system, speed will be about 100MB/sec. If I run same command, but will actively use system while it's working (switch virtual desktops, talk in pidgin, work in opera, start different applications), then dd speed will be about 80MB/sec. If I run 4 such dd in parallel, then iowait will be about 80%, loadavg up to 6.5, BUT...... overall system slowdown will be _significantly_ less than previously (with my original HDD)!!! Final speed of all 4 dd was about 20MB/sec. Same overall system slowdown and dd speed I have if I run just two dd for copy files like `dd if=test1 of=test11 bs=1M`. I don't think changing HDD fixed the bug, because sometimes I've up to 2-4 seconds freeze while just typing messages in Pidgin (with dd running in background), but... overall system slowdown is now feels acceptable, it doesn't make system nearly _unusable_ while copying large files, as previously. Also, now file copying works on full HDD speed, instead of 3-5MB/sec as sometimes on another HDD. So, looks like with this faster HDD the bug become less noticeable. I'm going to buy Seagate Barracuda LP 2TB HDD and will test it too. Here is example of `vmstat 1` output while running 4 dd as described above (with loadavg about 6.5 and fast enough overall system): procs -----------memory---------- ---swap-- -----io---- -system-- ----cpu---- r b swpd free buff cache si so bi bo in cs us sy id wa 2 6 0 52396 10004 1027216 0 0 1248 41448 2493 1838 8 11 0 82 0 5 0 55224 9932 1023476 0 0 924 54596 2370 1430 6 9 0 84 0 5 0 56372 10028 1026172 0 0 108 97340 2473 2192 9 20 0 71 1 5 0 53344 10032 1027352 0 0 656 107936 2500 1421 4 17 6 73 0 7 0 53408 10004 1026640 0 0 444 94228 2474 1188 2 15 0 83 1 6 0 54352 10056 1024192 0 0 4 79420 2444 1248 5 13 0 82 0 6 0 52632 10132 1025312 0 0 0 97412 2472 1388 6 16 0 78 1 6 0 56612 10204 1024860 0 0 4 86984 2421 1756 14 14 0 72 0 5 0 53356 10220 1027576 0 0 48 99416 2453 1701 6 17 0 76 0 6 0 51568 10300 1027888 0 0 388 97372 2417 1402 10 15 0 76 1 5 0 54756 10312 1025188 0 0 516 61192 2491 1858 10 11 0 79 1 3 0 52720 10184 1024832 0 0 356 39288 2376 1740 10 9 3 78 0 7 0 56432 10220 1025596 0 0 4 62236 2460 2165 13 20 1 67 0 5 0 56216 10188 1025444 0 0 200 125564 2422 1585 10 15 6 70 0 7 0 53828 10172 1026520 0 0 336 108372 2543 1612 7 17 0 77 0 5 0 58336 10148 1019816 0 0 4 88924 2420 2264 11 18 5 67 0 6 0 55488 10256 1018676 0 0 952 47832 2524 3149 15 17 0 69 0 7 0 52896 10328 1023392 0 0 1012 42204 2439 2200 16 15 0 68 1 8 0 58808 10300 1020324 0 0 1464 36340 2482 2557 18 11 0 72 1 6 0 52328 10240 1026560 0 0 756 82652 2403 2273 15 12 1 73 1 7 0 55792 10336 1022208 0 0 1616 52864 2489 2056 16 10 0 74 1 6 0 52748 10324 1024844 0 0 1464 49324 2396 1085 12 8 0 80 1 7 0 53292 10372 1026292 0 0 288 91920 2506 2564 6 21 0 73 5 5 0 56404 10404 1021116 0 0 92 109964 2493 1500 5 17 0 78 2 5 0 52840 10444 1023968 0 0 284 82828 2448 1821 7 15 0 78 1 7 0 57172 10320 1018960 0 0 4 104736 2422 1144 3 16 0 82 0 6 0 54712 10332 1019736 0 0 164 101156 2456 1267 9 16 0 76 0 5 0 55364 10388 1021452 0 0 1464 42832 2492 1888 7 14 6 72 2 5 0 57000 10332 1020748 0 0 168 108988 2554 2261 9 16 16 58
Alex, that starts to sound like a faulty hard drive to me. Drives developing problems which lead to significant slow down in seek time in partial areas of the drive definitely is possible. Now that you have a spare hard drive, it would be interesting to create a filesystem where windows partition used to be and see whether the IO slow down is reproducible from there too.
Which driver is actually being used for your problem disk ? Some of the pausing may be the high memory balancing if you have a 32bit kernel (as you do) but over 4GB of RAM and the drive is being handled by a non AHCI interface (the old IDE interfaces can only access the low 4GB of addresses directly so must copy using the CPU for the rest). Were the old and new disks plugged into the same controller ?

Yep. > Alex, that starts to sound like a faulty hard drive to me. I've tested read and write speed on different partitions using dd if=/dev/zero of=test1 bs=1M count=3000 and dd if=test1 of=/dev/null bs=1M commands, executed 3 times for each partition. I've repeated these tests twice: first time I just wait until these commands will finish, and second time I tried to use system while these commands was running (I've switched virtual desktops, talk in pidgin, used opera, work with mutt and start several light applications like mc, cpan, and gqview). And there some strange results. # fdisk -l Disk /dev/sda: 320.1 GB, 320072933376 bytes 255 heads, 63 sectors/track, 38913 cylinders Units = cylinders of 16065 * 512 = 8225280 bytes Disk identifier: 0x15741573 Device Boot Start End Blocks Id System /dev/sda1 1 7 56196 16 Hidden FAT16 /dev/sda2 * 8 14 56227+ 6 FAT16 /dev/sda3 15 21 56227+ 16 Hidden FAT16 /dev/sda4 22 38913 312399990 f W95 Ext'd (LBA) /dev/sda5 22 1718 13631121 b W95 FAT32 /dev/sda6 1719 4330 20980858+ 83 Linux /dev/sda7 4331 5636 10490413+ 7 HPFS/NTFS /dev/sda8 5637 12806 57592993+ 83 Linux /dev/sda9 12807 38913 209704446 b W95 FAT32 The partitions tested are: sda5 (fat32) sda6 (ext3, linux root) sda8 (ext3) sda9 (fat32) As you see, partitions are going in order, as they located on disk. First two (sda5 and sda6) are both small enough and located near beginning of disk, so they should work at maximum speed (in theory). Test results (numbers are MB/sec): W1/W2 R1/R2 sda5 47/38 68/55 sda6 27/27 45/43 sda8 50/42 64/54 sda9 42/34 50/35 the W1 column is write test without doing anything while testing, the W2 column is write test with actively used system while testing, the R1/R2 are same for read tests As you see, there several strange things: 1) sda6 are inexplicably slow 2) sda6 work on same speed even if I actively use system while test, unlike all others After that I tried to check linear read speed for both sda5 and sda6 partitions by reading per 100 cylinders from sda in a loop (in hope to find some cylinders located on sda6 which slower than others).

Hmmm... Just one more thing. Can you please run the following two commands in parallel for each partition and see whether there's any drastic difference? # dd if=/dev/sdaN of=/dev/null bs=1M count=512 iflag=direct skip=0 # dd if=/dev/sdaN of=/dev/null bs=1M count=512 iflag=direct skip=8192

Hmmm... doesn't look like a hardware or driver problem. Can you be persuaded into backing up sda6, creating a new filesystem and test it? If you back up sda6 by dd'ing the whole partition, you'll be able to get back the same fs layout by dd'ing it back.
I prefer to use this way to copy partition instead: mount /dev/sda6 /mnt/old mount /dev/some /mnt/new tar cf - -C /mnt/old ./ | tar xpf - -C /mnt/new This way I should also fix all possible disk fragmentation issues because new partition is formatted and then tar create all files. I've done this already several months ago - in hope to fix this slowdown if it happens just because of high disk fragmentation (it's Gentoo, so I expect much higher rate of new files creation/deletion while upgrading and compiling system than in other distributions which may result in higher disk fragmentation). This doesn't helps. But I can repeat this once again, just to be sure.
I was suggesting dd'ing so that the problem can be reproduced later if fs defragmentation turns out to be the issue. Now I'm out of ideas. If no one has further ideas, creating a fresh filesystem can test it without populating it might reveal what's going on a bit more.

I've tested new HDD - Seagate Barracuda LP 2TB: # hdparm -t /dev/sdb /dev/sdb: Timing buffered disk reads: 332 MB in 3.02 seconds = 110.10 MB/sec I've created two partitions at beginning of HDD, first for 20GB and second for 200GB. I've copied (using tar) my linux root partition to first (20GB) partition on new HDD and boot from new HDD (old HDD was disconnected from motherboard). # fdisk -l /dev/sdb Disk /dev/sdb: 2000.4 GB, 2000398934016 bytes 255 heads, 63 sectors/track, 243201 cylinders Units = cylinders of 16065 * 512 = 8225280 bytes Disk identifier: 0x59a8da18 Device Boot Start End Blocks Id System /dev/sdb1 1 2612 20980858+ 83 Linux /dev/sdb2 2613 28721 209720542+ 83 Linux It's read/write speed with and without some activity while testing are higher when compare to my old HDD (see comment #46 for description of W1/W2 columns): Test results (numbers are MB/sec): W1/W2 R1/R2 OLD: sda5 47/38 68/55 sda6 27/27 45/43 sda8 50/42 64/54 sda9 42/34 50/35 NEW: sda2 71/65 112/97 BUT. Overall system slowdown is SAME as with my old HDD. Of course, there no way to measure "slowdown" in some absolute numbers (after loadavg and iowait numbers was proven to have nothing with that bug), so we talk only about my subjective feeling. But the feeling is, replacing old 320GB HDD with new 2TB HDD (both are Seagate's) doesn't fixes this issue. That mean, this slowdown doesn't related to disk fragmentation, because it still exists on new partition populated using `tar cf|tar xf` commands. Another interesting thing: if new HDD connected as sdb, and I boot from my old HDD and run all these dd-tests on new HDD - the speed of i/o in tests are slightly increased and there NO SLOWDOWN at all! As example, if I boot from new HDD and run these 4 commands: dd if=/dev/zero of=test[1234] bs=1M count=8000 the avg speed of each dd will be 15.5MB/sec (62MB/sec overall write speed), but if I run same test on new HDD while booted from old HDD, the avg speed of each dd will be 18.6MB/sec (74.4MB/sec overall write speed). Another test, running 2 these commands on new HDD while boot from new HDD: dd if=test[12] of=test[12]_2 bs=1M the avg speed of each dd will be 13MB/sec (26MB/sec overall copy speed) but if I run same test on new HDD while booted from old HDD, the avg speed of each dd will be 14.6MB/sec (29.2MB/sec overall copy speed). Any ideas what to check next?
Some tweaks you could try (as root) to reduce latencies under load: # decrease SATA NCQ pipeline depth (I'd suggest minimum of 2) echo 3 > /sys/block/sda/device/queue_depth # decrease queue pipeline depth (throughput may suffer with too small number) echo 4 > /sys/block/sda/queue/nr_requests # decrease maximum command buffer (too small number will reduce throughput) echo 64 > /sys/block/sda/queue/max_sectors_kb # use CFQ scheduler (with settings below) echo cfq > /sys/block/sda/queue/scheduler # tweak timeouts for reads (sync) and writes (in ms) echo 80 > /sys/block/sda/queue/iosched/fifo_expire_sync echo 800 > /sys/block/sda/queue/iosched/fifo_expire_async # tweak timeouts for time per process (ms) echo 60 > /sys/block/sda/queue/iosched/slice_sync echo 40 > /sys/block/sda/queue/iosched/slice_async # decrease pipeline depth echo 2 > /sys/block/sda/queue/iosched/quantum echo 1 > /sys/block/sda/queue/iosched/slice_async_rq # tweak idle time for process to continue after sync request # may require RT patches in kernel to not lose throughput with small values # the idea is to have the time in ms from the moment the application # has received last read data until the moment the same application # asks for more data, too big value will idle for nothing, too small # will cause other programs to move the HDD head to other track echo 1 > /sys/block/sda/queue/iosched/slice_idle You may have to tweak above numbers a bit to nicely fit your hardware. I'm pretty happy with the above settings with HDD ST3500410AS plus CPU Intel E8400 on Acer EQ45M motherboard. I'm currently running kernel "2.6.31-9-rt #152-Ubuntu SMP PREEMPT RT". Smaller timeouts and shorter pipelines will reduce latency but can reduce throughput seriously. One more thing you could try: disable real sync to disk, only sync to drive cache (not safe if power is lost worth to check if it makes a difference) mount -o nobarrier,remount / (and possibly other mount points, too).
> Some tweaks you could try (as root) to reduce latencies under load: Thanks, I've tried these settings (but doesn't try to tune them for my hardware). This doesn't solve this issue. I think these settings slightly improve overall situation, but it's hard to measure real effect. And even if slowdown become, say, 10% less noticeable, the interface is still very slow and copy speed is still too low. I've tried another one HDD with same model as my friend's HDD tested in comment #43 - Samsung HD103UJ 1TB. It also very fast - actually that just mean it works at full speed, just like all these HDD do in Windows but not in Linux - and interface slowdown is much less noticeable even with 4 dd doing copy of 8GB files in background. And, again, this Samsung's speed is comparable to another new and fast HDD speed - Seagate Barracuda LP 2TB - but that Seagate on my system work not at full speed and interface slowdown with that Seagate is same as with my current HDD. So, for me, replacing my old HDD with that Samsung HD103UJ solved this issue! Of course interface slowdown is still noticeable, but it's very small. And HDD works at full speed, just like 2-3 years ago with kernel <2.6.18! :)
Hello linux gurus, I have a very similar issue as Alex, and I also have similar hardware. I only have a single IDE port on my MOBO: the hdd is master and the cd burner is slave. Like Alex, my file copies are quite slow, but for me the main problem is that my computer will lock up while burning a cd. I have a dual core, and one core will get completely io locked during cd burning, and sometimes both cores. If I try to do absolutely anything (in gnome), like open a webpage, or maximize and minimize a window, both cores will iolock for a couple of minutes. The cd is burning at _only_ 4x, under a MB/s, well under the slow 10MBs/s I get for file copy, but still enough to completely lock up gnome. I thought that maybe my hdd and cd burner were fighting over each other, so I tried different things hoping to cache the ISO that I was burning: cat it to /dev/null to put it in cache, and mounting K3Bs workspace location to tmpfs. Those didn't help at all. But that leads me to believe that some sort of io bus is getting bent out of shape. maybe? I've tested in windows, and not only can I burn the same cd+iso without any noticeable slow down, but I can also defrag the drive at the same time. (ie, I can open a program like open office while those other 2 things are going) Given this, and the fact that I have had this issue for the 3 years that I have been using linux, I believe that this is not an issue of hardware breaking down. I also can't check or enable DMA with hdparm. Is that normal? $ sudo hdparm -d /dev/sdb /dev/sdb: HDIO_GET_DMA failed: Inappropriate ioctl for device
I confirm the slowdowns. Started noticing that somewhere since 2.6.24 in Debian Etch, then moved to Debian Lenny, used 2.6.30 from backports, and now a custom-compiled 2.6.32.6. My custom-build kernel features "Low-latency desktop" enabled, and it improved overall system responsiveness, but high iowait and slow transfer speeds are still around. CPU: Intel Core2 6300 Motherboard: Intel D975XBX HDD: 400GB Seagate 7200.10 ST3400620AS (SATA-II, NCQ, 16 Mb cache) hdparm -t gives a reasonable reading about 60-70 Mb/s transfer rate, but copying large files between directories, to a USB HDD or over a 1 Gbit network shows about 2-3 Mb/s and iowait around 90-100% I tried connecting my hard drive through motherboard secondary SATA controller Silicon Image, Inc. SiI 3114, but there were no improvements. Tried connecting the hard drive to a completely different dual-core AMD system but saw the same sluggishness.
The reports describe the following: Kernel Version: 2.6.18 - 2.6.30 Looking at the 2.6.18 changelog, the following rather significant change that can't be ignored occurred at precisely 2.6.18: commit b17fd9bceb99610f6dc7998c9a4ed6b71520be2b [PATCH] Make CFQ the default IO scheduler Prior to that, the Anticipatory IO scheduler AS was the default IO scheduler, and it no longer exists in the current kernels. I've not found that the deadline IO scheduler performed well at all under these loads so switching between CFQ and deadline having similar performance is not entirely unexpected. So, the way to determine whether this change was due to the change to CFQ _from_ AS is to go to the last kernel that still included a good working AS and try comparing them. Ideally if people can still run 2.6.18 kernels on their machine, to try their workloads with the AS scheduler compared to the CFQ scheduler of the time.
Just short status update. Last 6 months with new HDD make it clear: bug is still there and still affect my system. BUT. Unlike with several previous HDDs I tried before, with this HDD I experience slowdown very very seldom, like 1-2 times per month. It always unusually high I/O activity on my system at that time (like checking torrent's hash PLUS copying large file by network), and even in these cases interface slowdown much less noticeable than previously - i.e. switching between applications/windows make take several seconds, but previously in similar cases (with unusually high I/O load) I experience complete interface freeze for _minutes_. I still use same 2.6.28 kernel (because it latests "stable" kernel with hardened (PaX/GrSec) patches available in official Gentoo portage for now). So, except changing HDD nothing was changed on my system, neither software nor my usual working tasks.
(In reply to comment #58) Now I'm using 64-bit Debian Lenny with 2.6.32-bpo.4-amd64 kernel from backports.org and a brand new SATA 1 TB WDC WD10EARS-00Y5B1 mounted as /home, and a SATA 80 GB SAMSUNG HD080HJ used as / Copying 1.5 GB file from /home to /tmp gets me around 4 MB/s and around 100% iowait Total DISK READ: 4.98 M/s | Total DISK WRITE: 5.00 M/s PID USER DISK READ DISK WRITE SWAPIN IO> COMMAND 3973 root 4.98 M/s 4.98 M/s 0.00 % 98.79 % mc Same results show up when I try to copy files to my USB-HDD. In Windows the speed is like 20 MB/s, but in Linux it's 3-5 MB/s. What happened to the kernel? This 'bug' is like 3-4 years old, and still no one can find and fix it! I stick to Windows now at my home PC because it's really fast when it comes to large files handling. :( I can't use 2.6.18 btw, the motherboard is too new for that kernel.
Max, what you're seeing is pretty different from what Alex is reporting, so please file a separate bug report and please include the output of "dd if=/dev/null of=tmpfile bs=1M count=1024" for cases where tmpfile is on the USB hdd and the harddrive. Alex, under heavy memory load, sometimes stutters like that can happen. 1-2 times per month under heavy memory load + much shorter stutter is a very different situation from stalls which go on for minutes. With the data present, I can't tell what your original problem was. I'm thinking either a hardware problem or somehow different/slower timing interacting weirdly with IO scheduler. It would be interesting if you can try the old hard drive w/ 2.6.34 + ext4 and see whether the problem is still reproducible. Thanks.
Dan, please file a separate bug report. What you're seeing is completely different from the problem this bug report is about.

Good day, anybody! I found an optimal options against this and like this bug Anybody please try a following options. I found that my kernels 2.6* and 3.2.* and 3.3.* versions of my server has periodical freezings 4-15 secs. I found that this occur in writeback time (flushing to disk) in time when 30sec expires for expired dirty pages occur. I tried many variants of dirty_* options and found optimal these: I can suggest two veriants Here 1st and 2nd variants The second variant commented Only uncommment second lines and nothing ####################################### # every 3 sec look up for dirty status # It for smooting writebacking, may be 100 will be better echo 300 > /proc/sys/vm/dirty_writeback_centisecs # Only 100Kb data of dirty pages and writeback... # It very important option :) echo 102400 > /proc/sys/vm/dirty_background_bytes # second variant - uncomment it - but you will have frozens but rarely # echo 225280000 > /proc/sys/vm/dirty_background_bytes # my a frozens happen at time of expiring of dirty pages (default 30 sec) # i increased it (it doesn't mean for 1st variant - it will never happen) echo 864000 > /proc/sys/vm/dirty_expire_centisecs # I increased limit for non background writebacking (it never happens i think) echo 10 > /proc/sys/vm/dirty_ratio ####################################### I like 1st variant - my system now works smooth I found that freezings occurs when dirty pages are written to disk. You can see it by this: watch -n1 grep -A 1 dirty /proc/vmstat New kernel features from 3.2.* version (writeback throttling) will not help to me. Now i tested kernel 3.3.2-6 of FC16 and it have a troubles too. But these settings work for me! I don't have any time for detailed description But if you will test it and it will help i will ready to discus for it Sorry for my English :) Bye! Perlover
