-Long I/Os can also be caused by a component in the I/O path (for example, a driver, controller, or firmware) continually postponing servicing an old I/O request, in favor of servicing newer requests. This can occur in interconnected environments, such as iSCSI and fiber channel networks (either due to a misconfiguration or path failure). This can be difficult to corroborate with the Performance Monitor tool because most I/Os are being serviced promptly. Long I/O requests can be aggravated by workloads that perform large amounts of sequential I/O, such as backup and restore, table scans, sorting, creating indexes, bulk loads, and zeroing out files.
