I'm currently trying to rsync a 50M file off my Linode and it's going REALLY slow (rsync says it will complete in 2 hours).

io_status:
io_count=130866481 io_rate=73 io_tokens=400000 token_refill=512 token_max=400000

load fluctuates between 0.5 and 3.0

top - 11:10:31 up 130 days, 22:24, 3 users, load average: 1.97, 1.18, 1.14
Tasks: 94 total, 2 running, 91 sleeping, 0 stopped, 1 zombie
Cpu(s): 2.4%us, 0.0%sy, 0.0%ni, 97.6%id, 0.0%wa, 0.0%hi, 0.0%si, 0.0%st
Mem: 195300k total, 183252k used, 12048k free, 10572k buffers
Swap: 263160k total, 61596k used, 201564k free, 81676k cached

It appears that I/O is the culprit. Simply executing simple things like 'ls', 'vi', etc take forever to complete....

This isn't the first time host45 gets like this. In fact it's somewhat unresponsive/slow quite a bit.

Anyone else on host45 seeing problems?

Well something just happened and it kick into high gear. rsync finished in about 30 seconds.
