Wait time shows high CPU usage
Hi,

I can't seem to make sense of this. My wait time is showing really high but vmstat's and topas are showing normal usage.

Code:
ps aux

USER          PID %CPU %MEM   SZ  RSS    TTY STAT    STIME  TIME COMMAND
root      9961810 5680.7  0.0  448  384      - A      Dec 16 6703072:12 wait


Code:
vmstat -Iwt 2 10

System configuration: lcpu=40 mem=65536MB ent=4.00

   kthr            memory                         page                       faults                 cpu             time
