now, i have been reading alot of books about this load balancing thing. when looking at the output of iostat and one determines that the disks do not have roughly equivalent utilization rate, books i've read mentions balancing the loads so the loads are spread evenly across the disks.

Now, i really hate this as at least, these damn books should explain in plain steps how to accomplish this balancing concept. instead they go on assuming their readers knows what the hell is going on.

The help I need from you guys is for you to tell me what i'm supposed to do when "load balancing". i mean, what do i do?? please dont give sumed up answers. i would appreciate if you can tell me in details. it can't be that complicated. Just go straight to the main points and I will fill in the rest cuz I not new to Unix.

(remember, i have no clue about this load balancing so please include in your answers any little information that u feel is important)

thank you
