My Raspberry Pi has a 128GB SD Card with Arch ARM and
- Apache
- NextCloud
installed on it and it seemingly non-stop interfaces with the SD Card. With iotop
I found out that mysqld
is seemingly the process that writes most data to the disk. In the mysql shell I then found the following:
show processlist;
+------+--------------+-----------+-----------+---------+------+--------------------------+------------------+----------+
| Id | User | Host | db | Command | Time | State | Info | Progress |
+------+--------------+-----------+-----------+---------+------+--------------------------+------------------+----------+

| 2 | system user | | NULL | Daemon | NULL | InnoDB purge worker | NULL | 0.000 |
| 3 | system user | | NULL | Daemon | NULL | InnoDB purge worker | NULL | 0.000 |
| 4 | system user | | NULL | Daemon | NULL | InnoDB purge worker | NULL | 0.000 |
| 5 | system user | | NULL | Daemon | NULL | InnoDB shutdown handler | NULL | 0.000 |

| 1852 | oc_stdcerr13 | localhost | nextcloud | Sleep | 0 | | NULL | 0.000 |
| 1853 | oc_stdcerr13 | localhost | nextcloud | Sleep | 0 | | NULL | 0.000 |
+------+--------------+-----------+-----------+---------+------+--------------------------+------------------+----------+
8 rows in set (0.001 sec)
How can I give my SD Card a break? /var/log
and /tmp
are already on ramdisk (tmpfs
)
Then when I continously executed the show processlist
command, I also saw the following:
show processlist;
