I have a Debian server with software-RAID and a quad-core processor. Once all cores are under full load, the RAID system has a huge IO delay.
The server is running some very CPU-expensive jobs.
Is it possible that I can tie these jobs to specific cores so I can reserve one core for RAID?
Best Answer
Yes, you can use
taskset
to do this. I doubt that it will make much difference though.$ man taskset
