User and IOwaits are a little high. Not going to stop the server, but it stops
it from hitting its full potential.
How many users?
I have a server with about 80 users and my averages are;
Average: all 6.00 0.00 3.65 3.95 86.40
That is with 2 dualcore XEON's at 2.2 Gh and 4 gigs and a SATA raid 5 (3ware)..
It was on a single drive for a month or so after a recovery and I had IOwaits
like yours. System was sluggish. Users whined. It wasn't pretty. The single
drive was the fastest recovery while I had to replace some drives that tanked.
I have a spare, but not 3.
