I had %iowait comparable to you with a single 200 Gigs 7200 RPM IDE drive. Now we've upgraded this server: Opteron 2216 with 4 Gigs RAM, CentOS 64 v5.2) and an Adaptec 3405 plus 4 x 73 Gigs Seagate 15K RPM (RAID 10). No more %iowait! I benched it at about 140 MB/s and random r/w are very good on these drives. We have 55 employees running Outlook connecting to Communicate with MAPI. The dataset is about 100 Gigs. Communigate use MBOX files for storage. Guy Boisvert, ing. IngTegration inc.
