Dears, I've got a double dual xeon wich sometimes is getting too slow.


While i was observing one of these slowly times, I realized the time
wait of processors come close to 100% and nfsd and kjournald process
become to D status (uniterruptible sleep) .Does someone know why this
can be happening or how can I troubleshoot it?

Below is a 'draw' of my top at one of these moments.
