POST-ing to php-fpm increases disk i/o writes

问题

I'm sending POST data about 100KB to my application and it causes php-pfm process to create many pipes and write to disk.

I'm wondering how this can be avoided.

PHP application is:

<?php exit; ?>

I do not have errors in the logs.

PID 72450 is php-fpm: master process

Almost each child process has 2 pipes open.

Thanks!

回答1:

The php-fpm master process will 'spin up' a number of child processes, as determined in your /etc/php-fpm.conf file (usual location for the config file). Each child process has pipes open for STDOUT and STDERR, hence the parameters listed in fstat.

To change/tweek this behaviuour you would need to familiarise yourself with your particlar config file, and maybe reduce the size of the php-fpm pool created by default? The pool is obviously intended to be spun up and ready to handle any subsequent queries without delay, so suitable config values will depend upon your intended site usage etc.
