Which files are taking most of my process's I/O time?
I have a fairly large python program that is causing a lot of disk I/O (on top
, %wa
can get as high as 80, and iotop
says that my process is the culprit).
There are several things that may cause this - I'm writing to more than one log file, and I'm saving cached results to disk in several places, so it's not immediately obvious where I should focus my attention.
I开发者_如何学JAVAs there a linux tool or a python trick that will allow me to see which subsystem is causing the most I/O operations?
You should have a look at SystemTap. It's very powerful tracing and profiling mechanism for Linux system calls: http://sourceware.org/systemtap/wiki
I'm sure it is possible to trace exactly which file descriptor is responsible for IO load - but it will get complicated to start with systemtap.
