Ug.. I don't want to roll back to 2.4... 2.6 has so many nice features
we depend on. We're using SCSI RAID5 on XEON of course.
I think its time to rule out some things. I'm going to migrate to
RAID1... just to verify... then try reviewing our kernel options.. maybe
disabling NPTL... maybe try another filesystem...
Not fun.
For the record... no a loaded system what type of IO do you guys see?
Anywhere near full disk capacity? I'm curious to see what type of IO
people are seeing on a production/loaded mysql box.
