#2 Re: Interpreting vmstat's wait stats on linux 2.6 Posted by dkg (216.254.xx.xx) on Wed 14 Feb 2007 at 06:43 When i do this, the processes which appear to be hogging the machine during heavy I/O seem to show up as though they're either in "wait" or "rest_init", which isn't very helpful to me (i'm not a kernel hacker). What should i make of this info? Also, i've only run this just now, and now isn't the time of heaviest load on the machine, so i might be missing something. any other ideas?
