Thanks to all yee skunks, I am now getting a clear picture of what's going on , now as a solution I want to buy an ssd and then attach it to my systems vm such that I avoid the blender effect ,in your opinion will this 'cure' my system? Or will I still face a io bottle neck? It may help. You need to ensure all other mysql settings are right. For SSD, just have the SSD as a separate partition and mount it directly to your vm. I mean, don't access the SSD through your virtualization infrastructure to avoid that overhead Also, DONT use 512 sectors, use the SSD native sector size else you will never see the advertised i/o speed. That mean, read the specifications, and ensure you can set your system to those specifications. Recommend Intel SSD, expensive but fast and reliable Muriithi Regard Geoffrey On Nov 18, 2014 8:14 AM, "john doe" <kuwasiliana(a)hotmail.com> wrote: > Virtualization in a high io environment like a database is never a good > idea. > Google I/O blender effect. > > ------------------------------ > Date: Tue, 18 Nov 2014 05:29:31 +0300 > To: ggitagia(a)gmail.com; skunkworks(a)lists.my.co.ke > Subject: Re: [Skunkworks] Inno db io optimization > From: skunkworks(a)lists.my.co.ke > > Geoffrey, there is this freeware, Spotlight on MySQL, which I have found > very useful for continuous visualisation of that MySQL is upto, in real > time. > > http://software.dell.com/products/spotlight-on-mysql/ > > On Mon, Nov 17, 2014 at 2:08 PM, geoffrey gitagia via skunkworks < > skunkworks(a)lists.my.co.ke> wrote: > > Thanks Adam > I am running on a windows environment so I have 5.5 on it , I noticed > is writes alot of temp files and at times converts to isam tables ,meaning > that my io is going to be high ,from me resource monitor I can see lots of > disk activities, it even at times freezes the server for a few seconds, > another problem is that the tables have many columns of which the dev uses > select * statements, impacting on cache. > > _______________________________________________ > skunkworks mailing list > skunkworks(a)lists.my.co.ke > ------------ > List info, subscribe/unsubscribe > http://lists.my.co.ke/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/skunkworks > ------------ > > Skunkworks Rules > http://my.co.ke/phpbb/viewtopic.php?f=24&t=94 > ------------ > Other services @ http://my.co.ke > > > > > -- > Regards, > Peter Karunyu > ------------------- > > _______________________________________________ skunkworks mailing list > skunkworks(a)lists.my.co.ke ------------ List info, subscribe/unsubscribe > http://lists.my.co.ke/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/skunkworks ------------ > Skunkworks Rules http://my.co.ke/phpbb/viewtopic.php?f=24&t=94 > ------------ Other services @ http://my.co.ke >

Run `iostat -c10` or something like that and confirm that you're near the IO limit of the disk subsystem. You'll also want to run `free` and see what's going on regarding memory usage. You may not be using all of your memory if your InnoDB settings aren't setup to use it. Petty good point. Did you adjust innodb_buffer_size to your system's memory profile. Also, make sure you are using innodb plugin NOT the build in innodb unless you are now on mysql 5.6 Anyway, the first thing is to get onto the latest and greatest Ubuntu/Debian/CentOS or whatever OS you're running and make sure you're on the latest and greatest MySQL from your OS vendor. You should definitely be on 5.5 and ideally 5.6. Doubt it will help. Even if he is using oracle, Ms sql, he would still have the same problem. He is saturating his i/o subsystem A better filesystem may help marginally as ntfs has high overhead than case sensitive filesystem but his problem is deeper. If there is money, he could buy some SSD disk and put the 200gb on SSD. Using hardware to fix software lack of good design. William Then, checkout this whole section: http://dev.mysql.com/doc/refman/5.6/en/optimizing-innodb.html I wonder if it's an Innodb issue though - more likely it's bad queries and indexes - which you may or may not be able to change.

I am running on a windows environment so I have 5.5 on it , I noticed is writes alot of temp files and at times converts to isam tables ,meaning that my io is going to be high ,from me resource monitor I can see lots of disk activities, it even at times freezes the server for a few seconds, another problem is that the tables have many columns of which the dev uses select * statements, impacting on cache. -------------- As others have mentioned, the best way is to reduce select * from table, especially since your tables are very wide. You are maxing your i/o with data that you eventually never use. There is no temporary solution for that and it hurt bad since your disk is the slowest part. You can increase the sort memory size. That will minimize your database using the disk as a sort staging area. And mysql don't use innodb for sorting so what you are seeing is normal If you were on Linux, you could also reconfigure mysql to use tmpfs for sorting. Essentially dressing up ram as a disk. It help a lot to minimize disk activities Muriithi

Silos – the achilles’ heel of healthcare innovation in Kenya
by Mbugua Njihia 14 Nov '14

14 Nov '14

Access to quality and affordable healthcare, I believe is a universal right and the achieving of highest possible service penetration should be high on the agenda of government and other complimentary agencies. The government has started on its part with the implementation of the KNH ICT master-plan, but one that will in my opinion take more than two political terms to get implemented in totality. This means that the task of transitioning to smarter health care lies in the hands of the private sector and other ecosystem players in the short to medium term while still aligned to the masterplan vision, whose implementation I hope will be based on open standards to allow third parties play well - http://bit.ly/1rw4BEt

All I can say is that avoid the dude like a plague lest your fingers be burned. He comes out as a gentleman but he's cunning and dishonorable as they get.

The folks I share an office space with have made a short film (27 minutes) about the Northern Lights. They are planning to release it on DVD soon and as part of the promotion, they want to have a few pre-screenings around the world and record people's reactions to the film within the next two weeks. Then they will compile all the reactions into a small trailer. Here is their current trailer: https://vimeo.com/97663163 I am emailing to see if you or someone you know wanted to show it at the start-up incubator or elsewhere? Ideally it would be a room with a projector and then someone would record a few over the shoulder shots of the crowd and maybe some facial reactions. In return, you can see the short film before anyone and we can send you a DVD for your efforts when it's ready. Let me know if you can help and we can send you a link with a password to a private online address to show at the screening.

CUSTOM DUTY (Peter Akech)
by peter aketch 31 Oct '14

31 Oct '14

Hi Skunks, The customs regime in Kenya use what is called HS Standard Codes. It is a standardization by WTO detailing merchandise categories and each country assigns various rates to the merchandise. Bwana Lawi in the list has given a brief on the percentages. Kenya uses 6-digit HS codes. A country like USA uses 8-digit codes which are more detailed. However, the categorization of stuff is the same. The top level is a 2-digit HS code. You will be charged import duty depending on how the country has set duty for stuff in each code. That is why you sometimes pay 10%, 0%, 20%, 25% etc. The rest are as written by Bwana Lawi in the list. You have to find the HS code for what you are importing then if you have a "mole" at KRA, you will be able to know the import duty beforehand. I only got access to the document sometime back through WTO, otherwise KRA normally keep it their secret. Electronics normally fall between HS 70 and HS 90. I hope this helps. Thanks.

BES10 Licenses
by Andrew Kerich 31 Oct '14

31 Oct '14

Hi Listers, Has anyone implemented the new BES 10 server to support the new BlackBerry Q10/Z10? It seems getting licenses from the Telcos offering BB services is a problem. It appears BlackBerry are making a quiet exit due to Smartphones ActiveSync feature for access to corporate email taking over. This is a breath of fresh air from the BlackBerry monopoly. I know for sure BES offered good security for email. Not sure if there are any security issues in ActiveSync but from a quick search there seems to be no major concerns. Rgds, Kerich.

Now we have a Kenyan Motorcycle called Mobius <http://www.mobiusmotors.com/>, 4WD in the market.

Innovated and inspired in Africa, made in China
by Mbugua Njihia 29 Oct '14

29 Oct '14

Innovated and inspired in Africa, made in China; may be the label that will get to see on a number of innovations by local entrepreneurs who have chosen to take the road less traveled to build businesses and offer services based on hardware. The push to diversify from what has been pure software play for the Silicon Savannah has been met with teething problems that should be easy to navigate around, if we are to truly empower our entrepreneurs to have the full development ecosystem domiciled in Kenya, with the key benefits being growth of local competence and job creation, as often times the business bits of the innovations have already been well thought through - http://bit.ly/1u02bWd
