Hi all,

Is it possible using ptools or something else to find out what is
causing 47% I/O wait state ? I can see the I/O wait state in top(1).

I believe one cannot kill a process that is waiting on I/O even with
SIGKILL. Is this correct ? If so, how does one deal with the
aforementioned problem _without_ rebooting ?

Cheers
