Hi Raj, Ananda, the schema is very simple, we don't have any blob or text column.
I thought the same about the log files, so I tried with diferent sizes but nothing change. This is the output of iostat -x 1 when the performance is slow running a restore avg-cpu: %user %nice %system %iowait %steal %idle 0.00 0.00 0.00 0.00 0.00 100.00 Device: rrqm/s wrqm/s r/s w/s rsec/s wsec/s avgrq-sz avgqu-sz await svctm %util sda1 0.00 0.00 0.00 0.00 0.00 0.00 0.00 0.00 0.00 0.00 0.00 sdb 0.00 0.00 0.00 0.00 0.00 0.00 0.00 0.00 0.00 0.00 0.00 sdc 0.00 0.00 0.00 0.00 0.00 0.00 0.00 0.00 0.00 0.00 0.00 sdd 0.00 0.00 0.00 0.00 0.00 0.00 0.00 0.00 0.00 0.00 0.00 sde 0.00 0.00 0.00 0.00 0.00 0.00 0.00 0.00 0.00 0.00 0.00 md0 0.00 0.00 0.00 3.92 0.00 59.80 15.25 0.00 0.00 0.00 0.00 sdh 0.00 0.00 0.00 0.98 0.00 31.37 32.00 0.00 0.00 0.00 0.00 sdi 0.00 0.00 0.00 0.98 0.00 23.53 24.00 0.00 0.00 0.00 0.00 sdj 0.00 0.00 0.00 1.96 0.00 4.90 2.50 0.00 0.00 0.00 0.00 sdk 0.00 0.00 0.00 0.00 0.00 0.00 0.00 0.00 0.00 0.00 0.00 avg-cpu: %user %nice %system %iowait %steal %idle 0.00 0.00 0.00 0.00 0.00 100.00 Device: rrqm/s wrqm/s r/s w/s rsec/s wsec/s avgrq-sz avgqu-sz await svctm %util sda1 0.00 0.00 0.00 0.00 0.00 0.00 0.00 0.00 0.00 0.00 0.00 sdb 0.00 0.00 0.00 0.00 0.00 0.00 0.00 0.00 0.00 0.00 0.00 sdc 0.00 0.00 0.00 0.00 0.00 0.00 0.00 0.00 0.00 0.00 0.00 sdd 0.00 0.00 0.00 0.00 0.00 0.00 0.00 0.00 0.00 0.00 0.00 sde 0.00 0.00 0.00 0.00 0.00 0.00 0.00 0.00 0.00 0.00 0.00 md0 0.00 0.00 0.00 1.98 0.00 17.82 9.00 0.00 0.00 0.00 0.00 sdh 0.00 0.00 0.00 0.00 0.00 0.00 0.00 0.00 0.00 0.00 0.00 sdi 0.00 0.00 0.00 0.99 0.00 15.84 16.00 0.00 0.00 0.00 0.00 sdj 0.00 0.00 0.00 0.99 0.00 1.98 2.00 0.00 0.00 0.00 0.00 sdk 0.00 0.00 0.00 0.00 0.00 0.00 0.00 0.00 0.00 0.00 0.00 2010/3/18 Raj Shekhar <spa...@rajshekhar.net> > Max Bube <maxbube <at> gmail.com> writes: > > > > The problem starts when I run bulk writes like an alter table or a > restore > > from mysqldump, its starts processing more than 50000 rows/s but suddenly > > the ratio goes down to 100 rows /sec. and then its stucked at this ratio > > even if I restart MySQL.
