PasswordService in Uninterruptible wait

Is it normal behavior for the PasswordService to go into an "Uninterruptible wait" status intermittently on an OD master? Top was showing a stuck process so after investigating with ps aux, I have found that it's the PasswordService that keeps going in and out of the stuck state. According to the document [url=http://unix.derkeiler.com/Newsgroups/comp.unix.programmer/2005-08/0313.html]here[/url], a stuck process is waiting for a kernal function to complete and can be caused by an incomplete I/O. I do notice that my disk is pretty active: % iostat -w 1 disk0 disk0 cpu KB/t tps MB/s us sy id 8.37 1371 11.21 32 8 60 8.22 543 4.36 19 3 78 8.24 1751 14.08 12 12 77 8.18 420 3.35 18 4 78 7.50 16 0.12 18 2 80 9.72 1439 13.67 36 8 56 8.22 2691 21.59 27 15 58 8.22 2901 23.29 22 10 68 11.04 779 8.40 44 11 46 The same is true on my replica: % iostat -w 1 disk0 disk0 cpu KB/t tps MB/s us sy id 8.48 208 1.73 1 2 98 8.23 2020 16.24 1 6 94 8.22 1756 14.09 17 10 74 9.36 2635 24.08 6 17 77 8.23 3251 26.13 2 12 85 8.24 3226 25.95 4 13 84 8.24 2372 19.08 2 12 86 8.57 1945 16.28 2 14 84 9.94 1262 12.25 22 4 74 Both seem kind of high to me, even with the I/O associated w/ lookups...
