External Journal scenario - good idea?
...We are running a file server, which currently has as its "hard drive" an

The RAID unit is a Promise UltraTrak100-TX8, with 8 Western Digital
WD1200JB 120GB ATA100 7200rpm hard drives installed. 7 of the 8 drives

not long after that both CPUs end up continuously spending 50-99% of
their time in "iowait" state when reading/writing t...
