ahcisata poor performance

[Dima Veselov <kab00m%lich.phys.spbu.ru@localhost>]

Hello!

Can someone tell - is there a way to inspect poor hard drive performance?

Two computers - windows and linux, SMB and NFS connected to NetBSD host.

Writing over SMB (GE interface) freeze linux NFS client (writing few bytes
can take 2 seconds).

I believe thats hard drive problem because iostat show not more than 10MB/s
even copying locally on NetBSD from one drive to another. Top show up to
10% interrupt.

Hardware is quite modern and this can be a problem, but I also could miss
proper raid or filesystem tunes.
