Hi Rory,
That's a good idea! :-). We are also monitoring I/O with Munin, the
normal tables, but I don't have an idea what "normal" values are. I know
that the servers are virtual machine's, running on VMWare, and the
storage is on a different machine (probably SAN).
Do you know what normal I/O values are? What should be considered
"fast", and what should be considered slow?
Then I could compare this with our munin stats as well.
Changing the store pool to ext2 now, afterwards, on a production server,
is a bit difficault. Also because the servers are in Jakarta, in an
protected environment, which I can only access trough VPN, and we're in
the netherlands :-). Bit of a distance, hehe.
Thanks for your input Rory and Alejandro!

If the store spool builds up, ext3 could become a serious performance hog.
If disk IO might be the problem the iotop tool is an excellent way of
watching what processes and disk partitions may be causing a problem.
According to the man page, iotop requires Linux kernel 2.6.20 or later.
