On one of my busy servers I using SSD HD only for mysql DBs but I cant understand why MUNIN reporting average 12.74 MBytes (yes BYTES) and up to 80 Mbytes/second for WRITING on this HD and only 58.87 KBytes average and max 3 Mbytes for reading from this HD…I know that most reading come from RAM cache but on main busy website for writing I have only sessions and rest is almost nothing…
And this is what MySQL status said (for last 10 hours):
Received
Total: 53.9 MiB
Per hour: 5.3 MiB
Sent
Total: 1.7 GiB
Per hour: 0.2 GiB
Like you can see data received to mysql only 53.9 MiB and sent 1.7 GiB, how than this can generate up to 80 Mbytes/second for writing??
And this is what iostat -d -x 5 3 said:
Device: rrqm/s wrqm/s r/s w/s rsec/s wsec/s avgrq-sz avgqu-sz await svctm %util
sdc 0.00 20.40 0.00 83.80 0.00 1142.40 13.63 0.03 0.40 0.14 1.18
If I good understand this, again I have tooo much writing on this HD…
Again I must say that this HD I using only for mysql DB`s, why and what mysql server can write to HD if that is not data?
Thanks.
