I have a server with Ubuntu 20.04 that ran without problems for a while. However, since a week ago, problems started to arise as everything became slow. On the server I run Virtualizor with a number of VM (VPS) servers.
It looks like everything is so slow because of high iowait. The server runs 3x a Samsung 870 QVO 1TB SSD. Can someone explain why there is such high iowait and how to solve it?
