I am using RHEL 6.5 on my server.
From top command i can see that the processors in my server are
spending a lot of time on wait for I/O.
I can see high percentage in terms of 30-50% on "wa" time.
Here is the df output about the disk space in my system:
**********
[root@localhost images]# df
Filesystem 1K-blocks Used Available Use% Mounted on
/dev/sda1 1915071844 103227908 1714563936 6% /

Could someone point me on how to improve the disk I/O on my server and
reduce the wait time on I/O.
it appears you have everything on a single file system on a single 2TB
drive? I'm going to guess thats a desktop grade SATA disk spinning at
most at 7200rpm (many are slower, 'green' disks are often 5400rpm).
what sort of workload are you running? our high disk IO servers,
doing things like transactional databases, have many 10000rpm or 15000
rpm drives on a SAS2 raid card with 1GB or 2GB of write-back-cache
(battery or flash backed).
