I have a Raspberry Pi 4, and recently it has started to act very sluggish. During that time I found that the system load jumps up for a while. It isn’t processor use, but instead I/O use. After a while the issue goes away and the system is happy again.
My home assistant db file is about 2.8 gig.
Any ideas on how to track this down?
I am getting the same, very sluggish, automation delays and numerous errors in the log stating sensors taking longer than expected etc.
I ended up deleting my db file and rebooting, this fixed it for now?
Tried going thru my homeassistant log but its gobbledegook to me and cannot see anything obvious.
Deleting the db and rebooting has seemed to fix the issue for now.
I also had this issue 2 weeks ago. I found out my sd card was the issue. It had terrible write speeds suddenly, which caused hangups with system and logger, resulting in huge spikes. Created a snapshot, used a brand new sd card and all was smooth again.
The corrupt one had write speeds of 0.5-2MB/s speed suddenly.
