Situation Description

Percent of the time the disk drive is busy is rising.

 

Possible Causes
  1. Too many active logical disks or files are on the same physical disk
  2. The physical disk does not perform adequately for the required application.

 

Suggested Actions

Your physical disk is receiving too many I/O requests. Before taking any action, check the queue length of the disk first. If it is more than 2, move some of your files to another disk. Consider using a SCSI drive that can handle more I/Os than EIDE because it may be able to handle I/O asynchronously.
