Note: "permalinks" may not be as permanent as we would like,
direct links of old sources may well be a few messages off.
Note: Whilst writing this email, I installed the "sysstat" package and the graphs
look like they should now. They immediately dropped to what they should be. I'll
send this anyway, just in case someone else has the same brainfade :-)

.. some of those DRBD resources show really really high utilization. A bit weird.
All of my resources are primary/secondary. Some are primary on kvm-host-01, some on
kvm-host-02. they're certainly not being written to as much as munin's utilization
graph suggests.
Running "iostat 1" looks like this most of the time:

... but I suppose the munin plugin is getting its data from elsewhere.
( ... 30 minutes later ... )
solution: apt-get install sysstat
The problem went away. I haven't delved deeper to figure out why.
Hope that helps someone.. :-)
Cheers,
Nick
