The only issue I having is a problem witiowait.
I'm not sure how to resolve, identify the disk(s) causing the wait status.
Any suggestion is greatly appreciated.
I following you on YouTube, this where I found this link.
Try the following steps to fix the error
1. Identify the disk causing the high I/O wait
- Use `htop` or `top`:
Open a terminal and run:
htop
Look for processes using high I/O. If wait% is high, the disk is probably the bottleneck.
- Check I/O usage with iostat (install sysstat if necessary):
iostat -x 1
Look for drives with high await and util% values.
- Use iotop to monitor disk activity:
iotop -o
This command will show which processes are using the most I/O.
- Check the Unraid UI - Disk Performance Tab:
Unraid provides disk activity statistics in the web interface. Check for unusually high read/write activity.
