Issue

  • High utilization of disk, nearing 100%, indicating performance bottleneck.
  • Numerous pending I/Os on a disk in the root aggregate suggest heavy load and potential overutilization.
  • The disk is part of an aggregate, which may lack sufficient parallelism to handle current workloads efficiently.
  • Possible unresponsiveness of the 'bcomd' process due to the stress on the single disk.
