getting slow
 

Hi,
I have a new problem.
I have a server with these HDD combination .
3 X 300 GIG sas 15 RPM
1 X 2 TB sata 2 .
when there is a huge process in my server and the server get slow ( for example copy a heavy file ) the webserver get slow after that , and when the process finishes the webserver is slow till we restart the webserver ...
is there any solution to solve this issue?
I use Litespeed Web Server Enterprise v4.2.1.
2 X E5645 processor
32 Gig of memory.

run 'top -c' to see which process consumes cpu cycles the most when it is slow.

mysql database consumes the most resources. likely it is overloaded. hence the slow. better run db on its own disk or move db to its own server.

I seprated if before on another disk sir...

what about static file download? are those files are separate drives from db? are they slow as well?

they had problem as well
I found the problem in IO wait time .
it seems there are a lot of process on that sata HDD..
but I don't know why I restart the webserver the speed will be well for some minutes...
is it possible to do such a thing like this automaticaly ?
I means the server do that it self and I wont have to do it manually ..

try enable AIO (http://www.litespeedtech.com/docs/we...tuning/#useAIO) and see any difference.

how should I enable it ?
