Hello all:
I've been trying some hacks to boost disk I/O performance mostly by
changing values
in the /proc/sys/vm filesystem. A vmstat display shows bursty block

fairly consistent interrupt counts:

This test is running several NFS clients to a RAID disk storage
array. I also see the
same behavior when running SFTP transfers. What I'd like is a more
even block
out behavior (even at the expense of other apps as this is a file
server not an app
server). The values that I've been hacking are the
dirty_writeback_centisecs,
dirty_background_ratio, etc. Am I barking up the wrong tree?
No iowait time, plenty of idle time: looks like you are network
bound. What time of network are you running?
Well, it's an 8 cpu system. Does the idle time reflect the idle time of
all cpu's?
The network is a Gigabit Ethernet.
