Are they not saturated?
What kind of parameters should I pay attention when comparing SCSI
controllers and disks? I would like to discover how much cache is
present in the controller, how can I find this value from Linux?
These number look a bit strange. I am wondering if there is a hardware
problem on one of the drives
or on the controller. Check in syslog for messages about disk timeouts
etc. 100% util but 6 writes/s
is just wrong (unless the drive is a 1980's vintage floppy).
