This is a disk I/O report for the last 30 days of every #Proxmox node of a cluster. Something happened around March 28 that caused high disk usage, and I can’t figure out what. The replication tasks are failing randomly, and actually, any disk operations are slowed down. Also, there are no significant changes in CPU, RAM, or network usage.
I was hoping to find which LXCs are causing this, but they all have similar disk IO graphs.
Well, shit.

@yehor not trying to be smart but did you try rebooting?
@pax0707 yes. No luck

@yehor just saw it’s a spinner. Not ideal, but should work.

For containers I would advise at least an SSD. Lots of small writes can kill the performance of a HDD real fast. Especially on a SMR drive.

Could be just that.

@pax0707 no it was an SSD. WD Green SSD
@yehor hmmm…
@pax0707 exactly my thoughts
