What were the particulars of the IO issue? We had not noticed this as being a significant issue until we went to initialize a 500 GB volume on a 3.0 TB SATA array, which hosted other live volumes. This was on an Intel SSR212MC2 with dual quad core processors, 8 GB Memory. The CPU, Network IO, etc were all fine, but the IO dedicated to the volume initialization appeared to be way out of sync.. We won't be doing that without taking servers off line first until we get a handle on what is causing it.
