So do iostat or iotop show you if / where your disks are working

Sorry for the delayed reply. I took a look in more detail at the
query plans from our problem query during this incident. There are
actually 6 plans, because there were 6 unique queries. I traced one
query through our logs, and found something really interesting. That
is that all of the first 5 queries are creating temp tables, and all
of them took upwards of 500ms each to run. The final query, however,
is a simple select from the last temp table, and that query took
0.035ms! This really confirms that somehow, the issue had to do with
/writing /to the SAN, I think. Of course this doesn't answer a whole
lot, because we had no other apparent issues with write performance
at all.
I also provide some graphs below.
Hi, graphs for latency (or await etc) might be worth looking at too -
sometimes the troughs between the IO spikes are actually when the
disks have been overwhelmed with queued up pending IOs...
Sorry - I see you *did* actually have iowait in there under your CPU
graph...which doesn't look to be showing up a lot of waiting. However
still might be well worth getting graphs showing per device waits and
utilizations.

Mark
