We have a quad E480 server with 2 Gb RAM and two raid 5 arrays.
When we run iostat -x at hourly intervals there is an average of 2 in the %b field.

When we look at iostat -x over a shorter period, say 10 seconds, %b increases to 80. When this occurs the run queue increases to > 10.
Does anyone know what sd67 is and why we see this activity?
 
See Thread60-952169 (second post) for an explanation of the sd type disk notation.
