I'm diagnosing a slow hard disk issues , trying to determine where the
bottleneck in all of this. The system is FreeBSD 5.4 with SCSI U320 drives in
RAID-5 on Adaptec 2130SLP Controller.
I'm noticing the / boot partition has the most activities for writes/Busy and
was wondering if anyone can shed some lights on this and what can possibly be
done to speed up the drives.
doing 'gstat' shows:

Any info on matter of disks performance is much appreciated.
