It's defined as an OSD and in the period we care about, we see Bus busy and channel busy better than 5%, read bytes/sec better than 100 Megabytes/sec and write bytes at a little over 2 Megabytes/sec. Normally the read rate is about 100X less and the write rate is about 10X less. We know we're in trouble in this interval; we're trying to determine guidelines for predicting trouble.
