Hello,
I've an FD that's making too much iowait on the backed up machine. I
tried searching info on the subject but nothing useful comes up. Here is
an excerpt from the top utility:

During normal operation the iowait will stay within 10% limits, however,
at some point it jumps to 90-98% and stays that way. I've noticed that
even with canceling the job from the director,
the iowait on the client will stay at the 90% level.
The client is running on Fedora core 9:
Linux 2.6.27.9-73.fc9.i686 #1 SMP Tue Dec 16 15:25:05 EST 2008 i686
i686 i386 GNU/Linux
Fedora release 9 (Sulphur)
I've installed the FD through yum.
Can anyone help with more info to what might be causing the problem or
where I can find more info on iowait optimizations?
Thank you for your help!
Cheers,
Stoyan
