Hii,<div><br></div><div>Looking at this, your problem appears to be that you are diskbound. Note the 60% "wait" time.</div><div><br></div><div>Use "hdparm -t" to find out the throughput of each of your disks. If its not 20MB/sec or more then you need to look into the drivers you are using for your disk. If you do have good disk throughput and still stuck with high wait time then you need to look into why you have so much disk IO going on.</div>
<div><br></div><div>By the way - there's no big problem with an Asterisk box with a load average of 4. I've seen 10 or so without audible issues. Obviously depends on available CPUs and what exactly is happening on the box.</div>
