High wa usage


Recommended Posts

For some reason suddenly my wa usage in top has increased to 20%. The only thing which was done today was to update server to latest debian kernel.

Does anyone if this stats are good or bad? I am not sure how to read this stats and what to make out of it.

see you're using software raid, which by default so does a mdadm raid check weekly to make sure raid arrays are okay - could be that ?

me the raid check usually happens once a week on Sundays

cat /proc/mdstats



should tell you the status of your raid arrays
