Full Discussion: Process(s) ID waiting on IO?
Top Forums UNIX for Advanced & Expert Users Process(s) ID waiting on IO? Post 302110378 by jim mcnamara on Monday 12th of March 2007 04:02:26 PM

So there isn't a lot of confusion: there is the concept of I/O wait caused by processes being I/O bound; problems with I/O request queue length getting out of hand because resource issues (too few disks); or there is a really "hot" I/O device with a few files that everyone and his mother updates constantly.

I think the point I was and am making is that you have to interpret results in the context of what you know about machine use. I cannot tell from what you posted what is going on without knowing a lot more. The main thing that stands out is "Oracle". Anytime you see that it means that your DBA needs to get involved. Problem Oracle systems root causes are often bad queries and/or lack of tuning.
