Hi,
i just noticed, that i have about 1500 sector writes in 15 Minutes.
Should i worry about that? How can i find out, what might be causing such a high sector write?
Maybe some service is causing this and it might be better to write to an usb stick instead of the nand, but how to find out...
Re: Sector writes
Same issue after upgraded to RouterOS 6.28 mipsbe.
Reboot can fix this issue on RB951G-2HnD, but make no effect on my RB751G-2HnD.
6 sector writes per second.

Re: Sector writes
Also mipsbe here. Just checked again, a lot of sector writes here still after a while....
Re: Sector writes
@eternal0: fyi, downgrade to 6.27 seems to fix the sector issue, will monitor that though...
Re: Sector writes
Having the same trouble after updating one of my RB951G-2HnD to 6.28: around 2 sector writes per second. Reboot seems to help to make it stop.
After messing around, I discovered that once WinBox is closed, the counters are not growing anymore. In other words, you can disconnect WinBox, log in a few minutes later, and discover the same sector write count. It starts to grow again at the same pace when I open IP -> Firewall -> Filter/Mangle view in WinBox. Closing IP -> Firewall view still keeps the counters growing. Closing the WinBox session, and connecting again (IP -> Firewall view closed!) stops counters from growing. I would guess some background thingie that reads firewall stats is writing on disk.

Re: Sector writes
I can confirm this at RB750G (mipsbe).
With 6.28 sector writes are increasing.
Downgrading to 6.27 fix the problem.

Re: Sector writes
Looks to me like its Winbox3 - I get 2 writes/second using winbox and 0 when using the CLI (via SSH).
Re: Sector writes
I also have the same problem on an RB951g running 6.28
2 write cycles continuously when logged on using winbox.
Can other users confirm that downgrading to 6.27 fixes
the issue?

Re: Sector writes
got the same on rb2011 and 6.28
see this only after 3 days
as a result: 577 602 write sector per 3 days

Re: Sector writes
I have the same problem too on an RB951Ui-2hD with 6.28

Re: Sector writes
This will be fixed in 6.29. Install an 6.29rc20, if you don't want to use 6.27, it's already fixed out there.
