Hi, after a bit of a calamity involving an unexpected upgrade to rrdtool 1.2 I decided to make the move to 0.8.3, after the upgrade the load average on the server went from around 2 to around 20.
I spent the best part of 2 days trying to fix my installation of JFF, and now have a monitoring solution that works again. The problem was related to rrdtool thrashing the disk to within an inch of it's life, a vmstat 1 10 was showing a bi value of consistently 20,000. I fixed the problem by tweaking the readahead value on the disk with a "blockdev --setra 64 /dev/sdb1" I'm not sure if anyone else has seen similar problems, or whether this solution would help them, but I thought I'd best throw this out there in case anyone else is struggling.
