Apache and PHP-FPM
Hi, I have a web server with Apache 2.4 running in worker mode and multiple php version with FPM service running in dynamic mode. Sometimes php-fpm stop responding and I got a 503 error on php request but apache still respond to http request to other files (css, js, jpeg, ...) then after a while apache stop respond (nothing logged on error log neither in access log). I have to restart apache and php-fpm services to unlock the server. Off course it's append while I have malicious activity on the server, the last time it's happen I found a SQL injection attempt that causing lot of php error (maybe an infinite loop). How can I avoid these kind of situation? Can I optimize actual settings? Should I use mpm_event with apache and/or ondemand process manager with PHP-FPM? mpm_worker config: StartServers 2 MinSpareThreads 25 MaxSpareThreads 75 ThreadLimit 64 ThreadsPerChild 25 MaxRequestWorkers 150 MaxConnectionsPerChild 0 php-fpm pool config: pm = dynamic pm.max_children = 5 pm.start_servers = 2 pm.min_spare_servers = 1 pm.max_spare_servers = 3 Thanks, Martin
Re: Slow XFS write
Hi all, After some research on my RAID controller, PERC H310 Mini on a Dell server, I found a lot performance issue. It does not have WriteBack cache or BBU. I do not tested to write directly on the partition because I have some backup to do before but I think reinstall the server on a software RAID is the best solution here. Thanks to all Le 23/08/2018 à 09:07, Stefan K a écrit : Hello, did you really need the hardware controller? I suggest to use Software/MD raid, ob btrfs with raid1 or zfs with raidz1 Looks suspiciously similar to LSI MegaRAID. Is controller firmware current? Is it possible to upgrade it? Since you seem to have BBU, have you considered enabling WriteBack mode? Reco Can you rebuild the partition? If so, unmount it then perform the dd directly to the device. (of=/dev/sda2 or whatever) What's the hardware raid vendor? Honestly, the performance of ext4 partition is also horrible, just not as bad as the xfs partition. What's the hardware raid model? Does it have a battery backed cache? (I will guess not, because the test is only 1G and that should fit into most current caches?) If the test directly to the partition shows good performance, then it might be an alignment issue; try recreating the fs with `mkfs.xfs -d su=64k,sw=2 ...`. If the performance is the same to the raw partition (and still much worse than the root partition) then the partition alignment itself might be off--which means recreating the partitions. (fsck and mkfs.xfs normally handle this automatically, but that depends on the raid controller+driver passing the information up, and per your xfsinfo output, that didn't happen.) Mike Stone

I've got same result as previous test. tests with dd command are executed directly on the server.

Slow XFS write
Hi, I have a NFS server with a hardware RAID5 on 3 HDD of 6 TB. I have a system partition with ext4 and a data partition with XFS.

XFS mount option: /dev/sda4 on /var/srv/nfs type xfs (rw,relatime,attr2,inode64,noquota) Is there a way to have better performance? Is XFS a good choice in this situation?
Unpacking process is very slow with apt on VM under Debian 8
Hi, I have a virtualization environment with a Proxmox cluster and an other cluster with GlusterFS to store disk images. With VM under Debian 8, and the unpacking operation is very very very long, arround an hour to unpack linux-image-amd64 for example. I do not have this problem with Debian 7. I already try to mount FS with "nodelalloc" (ext4), use "eatmydata" with no noticeable difference. I use raw disk image with no cache for my VM to avoid instability with GlusterFS storage. The transfer rate between Proxmox and GlusterFS can reach 15MB/s. How can I have better performance with apt-get or aptitude in Debian 8?
