You can use the FIOR utility from the CLI to identify which processes are writing to the disk.<br>
<br>
admin:utils fior<br>
utils fior disable<br>
utils fior enable<br>
utils fior list<br>
utils fior start<br>
utils fior status<br>
utils fior stop<br>
utils fior top<br>
<br>
Here is a typical use case:<br>
<br>
1. Enable the FIOR utility before/during a time of High IO Wait<br>
admin:utils fior enable<br>
File I/O Statistics has been enabled.<br>
admin:utils fior start<br>
Loading fiostats module: ok<br>
Enabling fiostats : ok<br>
File I/O Statistics has been started.<br>
<br>
2. Wait a couple minutes. FIOR will poll for data every 5 seconds I believe. Then use utils fior top to see whats hitting the CPU the hardest:<br>
<br>
admin:utils fior top ?<br>
Syntax:<br>
utils fior top n sort_by [start=date-time] [stop=date-time]<br>
<br>
n: number of processes<br>
sort_by: read, write, read-rate, write-rate<br>
date-time: of the form %H:%M, %H:%M:%S<br>
%a,%H:%M, %a,%H:%M:%S<br>
%Y-%m-%d,%H:%M, %Y-%m-%d %H:%M:%S<br>
Example:<br>
admin:utils fior top 10 write start=2010-04-20 10:00:00 stop=2010-04-20 10:30:00<br>
<br>
This of course won't tell you *why* a process is hitting the disk, but it will at least show you who has the most read/writes. To answer the why question you would need to look at traces for the offending process/service.<br>
