IO delay improving

[FlorinMarian]

Hello!
Yesterday I've installed Proxmox on my dedicated server and I have IO Delay permanent 0.06 and sometimes over it.
How can I delete it permanently?

IO delay just means your sending more requests than the underlying storage can complete in realtime, the high the value the more % of requests are pending IO availability.

Values low such 0.06 are really nothing to worry about however, you are running consume grade SSD's so having some IO wait would be expected.

There is no way to just "delete" IOWait, other than decreasing your IO requirements or increase the IO capacity with high-performance physical storage.
