cstat frequency

[SimonT]

Hi

I'm in a discussion with my host at the moment about the number of disk writes that are taking place on my server which because it's in a RAID 1 configuration is slowing things down a little. They've narrowed it down to the cstat module and I was wondering what this does and does it need to be running every hour/minute/second of the day?

Thanks

Simon

I am not sure how overloaded your server already is and what's the size of this site you're referring to. Here is a link to a post that describes the problem and offers a solution for large amount of disk writes by cstat.
