extremely high CPU utilization and system load when downloading to cache

Featured Replies

I'm getting very high cpu usage and IO wait when I try to download to my cache drive.  system load skyrockets and download speed drops from 100mb/s to 5-10k/s.

 

I have my dockers and download folder on a BTRFS cluster of 2 cache drives.

 

I originally thought it was the sonarr process of moving the files to the array that was killing things, but this is happening well before the download completes.

 

Prior to this, I have had no issues downloading at full speed.

 

load shows:

15:14:41 up 16 days,  1:20,  1 user,  load average: 9.05, 6.95, 3.65
USER     TTY      FROM             LOGIN@   IDLE   JCPU   PCPU WHAT
root     pts/0    10.0.1.154       14:57    1.00s  0.01s  0.00s w

I've seen load hit 25+ over the past few days when I download larger files

 

iotop is showing me:

Was going to try and remove a cache drive and switch to a single ssd as a next step?

I have similar issues with SHFS CPU utilization very high.

Have you found any solutions?
