[collectd] loss of data on collectd-server

hi

the machine receives 48 collectd-streams, so ~500kBit networkIO generates 
2MByte of random IO
to the disk-subsystem, which consits of 6x36GB 10k Raid5 and the cpu reports 
~17% IO-waitung

((the old system (same hardware) used only a mirrored 15k 148GB Disks which 
generated 35% IO-waitung))

are there other users with similar system ?

(no there is only one instance, but...)
a veritas-clusters runs on this machine using fibre-channel connected disks, 
which
use /dev/vx as a (tmpfs)-mapping-service and also df shows  2x /dev/vx 
devices :(
(btw. no vx-devices are listed in /etc/fstab, so i think a kernel-module 
from the veritas-cluster do this)

the only bad thing is, that rrd_update reports this every 10sec to the 
syslog ;(

btw: i should change the thread-subject to "lots of data..." ;)
