I should be more clear - the idle % never goes below 33.3%, spends most of its time at 33.3%, and the disks are not even remotely saturated. They are 15K SCSI drives and the above is true even when there is no apparent disk activity. Seems like the idle % is being calculated incorrectly. I am just trying to found out if anyone else seems anything simlar before I file a PR...
