Hey Alex,
ok, this is indeed a really bad disk. :) Regarding the slow logging, you
could check the syslog configuration if its configured to write
asynchronously (there should be a "-" in front of the log statement in
syslog.conf). And also check if you perhaps not use a to high log level in
the kamailio cfg.
Oh, so that's what the '-' does. Thanks Henning, one learns something
new every day from you. :-)
Alex - this server is not a Dell Poweredge 2850/2950 with a PERC 5i, is
it? I have run into a bug on a few of these where I/O causes enormous
blocking/waiting, and discovered it by turning off syslogging and
watching the 'waiting' portion of the load to go down. It was necessary
to replace the defective PERC to fix the problem.
