IO performance

Hey Guys,

    As you can see at the following iostat output, We have a lot of writes
into the cache, :-)  and the IO wait is a bit higher than expected.

               Device:         rrqm/s   wrqm/s     r/s     w/s   rsec/s
wsec/s avgrq-sz avgqu-sz   await  svctm  %util
(storage) sda               0.00     0.00   17.00   26.00  6094.00 13144.00
  447.40     0.94   *19.77*   6.05  26.00
(interim)  sdb               0.00     0.00   85.00   13.00 12523.00
 8706.00   216.62     0.18    1.86   0.84   8.20

I was wondering if would be possible to enhance the write IO performance by
increasing the IO buffers.

I thought, I would increase the proxy.config.io.max_buffer_size, from 32768
to a much higher value.

Any thoughts about it ?

Thank you!

Changing the default IO buffer size setting will have no effect on writing to disk. As far as I can tell the cache logic is hardwired to write in at most 4M sized chunks.
