Is that a normal iowait level for spinning disks?
Dear all,
I have moved a busy website from a SSD VPS (Xen) to a dedicated server with two 7.2k spinning disks in Raid-1. My munin graphs of the CPU load on the new server shows quite an amount of iowait:
I ran into other limits with the VPS, but I never had so much iowait there. As said, the VPS had SSDs in Raid-10.
Shall I consider this as normal? The site feels snappy, so no problem, but I would be interested anyway...
Thanks a lot for your input in advance!
Kind regards
-Amitz
