Can you provide output of `iostat -myx 10` at the “peak” moments, please? Also, it'd be good to look in more detailed bgwriter/checkpointer stats. You can find more details in this post: http://blog.postgresql- consulting.com/2017/03/deep-dive-into-postgres-stats_27.html (You might want to reset 'shared' stats here.) -- Victor Yegorov
