Hey folks,
Earlier in the week I wrote a Munin plugin that takes the "await" and
"average queue length" fields from "iostat -x" and graphs them.
This seems rather odd to me :

That is Qlen. And await looks similar

This is on an IBM 3650 with the 2 main "internal" drives set up in a
mirrored config, and sdb are the 6 other drives set up in a RAID5 with
a global hot spare. (4 drives in array + 1 to make it RAID5 + global
hot spare)
We aren't seeing any performance problems on this per-se. But that
just seems like a really odd graph to me. Can anyone explain it? In
particular, how regular it is?
cheers,
-Alan
