I indeed have lots of ram but I've disabled all write access for a few hours to check if this issue is write related. These latency spikes did also happen when there were no writes at all. I haven't changed these values. They were at vm.dirty_background_ratio = 10 vm.dirty_ratio = 20 I've changed it to vm.dirty_background_ratio = 2 vm.dirty_ratio = 10
