Hi Farzanj,<br />
<br />
Many thanks for the info, so i read the link it says &quot;&nbsp;if a hard disk reports consistently high reads/writes &quot;&nbsp;there is some high load issues on a hard disk.<br />
<br />
Now my question, how do i distinguish, if it's a high, average or low?<br />
<br />
From what I understand, 1+ cpu load is acceptable, above that like 2.+ is considered quite high.<br />
<br />
please correct me if i'm wrong

Hi Farzanj,

Many thanks for the info, so i read the link it says " if a hard disk reports consistently high reads/writes " there is some high load issues on a hard disk.

Now my question, how do i distinguish, if it's a high, average or low?

From what I understand, 1+ cpu load is acceptable, above that like 2.+ is considered quite high.

Hi Guru's<br />
<br />
I would like to ask regarding the iostat command. Can anyone explain to me what does rrqm/s, wrqm/s, r/s, w/s, etch... mean?<br />
<br />
Also, how do I know if there is a io load issue on hard disk?

Explanation on iostat linux command

Unix is a multitasking, multi-user computer operating system originally developed in 1969 at Bell Labs. Today, it is a modern OS with many commercial flavors and licensees, including FreeBSD, Hewlett-Packard’s UX, IBM AIX and Apple Mac OS-X. Apart from its command-line interface, most UNIX variations support the standardized X Window System for GUIs, with the exception of the Mac OS, which uses a proprietary system.

Unix OS

Kernel programming for Linux operating systems can be done with many different languages; C, C++, Python, Perl and Java, which are some of the most common languages used.There are also many different varieties of Linux, such as Ubuntu, Fedora and OpenSUSE.

Linux OS Dev

A Linux distribution is an operating system made as a software collection based on the Linux kernel and, often, on a package management system and are available for a variety of systems. A typical Linux distribution comprises a Linux kernel, GNU tools and libraries, additional software, documentation, a window system (the most common being the X Window System), a window manager, and a desktop environment. Most Linux systems are open-source software made available both as compiled binaries and in source code form, allowing modifications to the original software. Over three hundred distributions are in active development, including commercially backed distributions (such as Fedora, openSUSE and Ubuntu) and community-driven distributions (such as Debian, Slackware, Gentoo and Arch Linux).
