I have server A with a large HDD at IDC 1 (TB hdd)
I have server B with cheap bandwidth at IDC 2 (very small virtual server 20
GB hdd)
I send all image requests to server B, and it caches from A.
My problem is that on server IO is really high
Server B iostat

Here is my related nginx config

Server B has nothing else running.
Server B is sending about 200~400 MBs traffic outside
Is such a high IO load normal?
Is there a way I can decrease the IO load while keeping the caching of
server B efficient?
Thank you.
