Every weekend I do backups of all CT which take a lot of IO. It didn't<br>
affect much load average before 108 but as soon as I upgraded to 113, load<br>
got very high and nodes became sluggish during backups. It might be<br>
something else but I was looking for feedback if someone else had the same<br>
issue. I will continue to troubleshoot this issue. Meanwhile, I will<br>
upgrade them from 113.12 to 113.21 and see how it goes even if there's<br>
nothing related to this in the changelog.<br>

See smartctl - temperature of HDDs and seek/read errors.<br>
<br>
Reason of "nodes became sluggish during backups"<br>
can be high HDD temp and high seek/read errors rate.<br>
<br>
Also see free space on backup partition - if free space<br>
low it will be very fragmented and write will be slow<br>
- need many IOPS for write many small file chunks.<span class="HOEnZb"><font color="#888888"><br>
