:- irq21 seems to always carry about half of the number of interrupts atapci1
is carrying.

:- over large periods, the % busy of ad6 is at 100%, servicing maybe 350 or
even 800 requests/sec. I/O speed then is around 3-10 MB/sec. this is with

I don't think an I/O scheduler will help. You are maxing out the hard

causing the disk to seek a lot.
