Re: Why is this machine busy

Hello,

I suspect you actually have more than four disks; perhaps these are
the wrong ones. If you want to look at I/O, use iostat.

root@whatever:~ # iostat 1
tty sd30 sd120 sd210 sd300 cpu
tin tout kps tps serv kps tps serv kps tps serv kps tps serv us sy wt id

I still don't think so but something else worries me. It looks like that oracle
forks at least for processes per second. Even if Solaris 9 does cow a pagetable
of 4 Gbyte process isn't that cheap to copy, is it?
