my question concerns Ubuntu 16.04.
After every boot I can view my folders and files on my HDD as intended. After 1 min of proper usage the file system becomes unresponsive for around 25 seconds. Then it works fine again infinitely.
How can I reach to the source of this issue? Any suggestions?
Just tell me if I should add any more information regarding my setup.
@reboot
cronjob to me. Have you tried System Monitor? The Processes tab has various disk columns (r/w). Perhaps you can see there which process does the disk I/O.sudo smartctl --all /dev/sda
Ifsudo: smartctl: command not found
typesudo apt install smartmontools
and try again.ionice
. It can throttle a program's I/O greediness so that other processes aren't affected too much.
