There might be something better, but 'iostat -x' is definitely your
friend when it comes to looking at latencies under load. Use a sample
time of 30 seconds ('iostat -x 30'). Check if a few disks are much
slower than the others. If they are all about the same, then the
disks are likely operating ok. Sometimes it is found that one or two
disks are abnormally slow, and this slows down the whole raidz.
