Not necessarily. Like I said, my laptop currently is about 25 to 30
times faster writing to disk than your server. So, I think something
is wrong. Try doing this, run vmstat 1, and while that's running, in
another window, do something like:
time dd if=/dev/zero of=/mnt/myslowdrive/testfile bs=1000000 count=500
time dd of=/dev/null if=/mnt/myslowdrive/testfile
and see what vmstat says while that's running, and how long it takes.
I'm guessing something is very wrong and you'll get really low
numbers.
