Hi,
We have a bad
performance issue in one of our database servers and I´ve discovered very iostat
strange numbers .
The server is
showing up normally 100.00% disk utilization but this morning I´ve shutted down
the database and the iostat was still showing 100.00 %util.
What can explain
this behaviour?
