That's pretty small.

iostat is not part of PostgreSQL, it's a tool used to display various I/O
metrics in Linux (and Unix in general). What OS are you using?

It seems the I/O subsystem is so busy it can't write the pgstat.stat on
time, so a warning is printed. You need to find out why the I/O is so
overutilized.
