What we're seeing is that when the weekly raid-check script executes,

down to about 4000K/Sec. dev.raid.speed sysctls are at the defaults:

It looks like some pretty heavy writes are going on at the time. I'm not sure what you mean by "nose dives", but I'd expect *some* performance impact of running a read-intensive process like a RAID check at the same time you're running a write-intensive process.

Do the same write-heavy processes run on the other clusters, where you aren't seeing performance issues?
