Load Source Drives at 99.9% or ++++

Hi All,

 

I had a look at our disk status today, and I see that our load source
drives are running at 99.9% or ++++.  I know this is very bad and
serious news, but I was wondering if anything can be done as a temporary
countermeasure to clean them up until we have time to swap them out?

 

Our system was originally configured with a pair of 4GB drives as the
load source and the remaining seven drives 17GB drives as our data
storage (all are RAID-5).  However, I think we need to seriously
consider swapping out these drives and running all on the 17GB drives.

 

Brian.
