[PVE-User] VM issue when Backup over NAS,

[Muhammad Yousuf Khan]

ok Thanks Martin it is resolved. initially IOdelay shoots to 60 precent but
gradually it decreases and in a mint or two it reaches 20%  and things got
fine. Thank anyways. can you please tell me one more thing what is this IO
delay . it is a IO of HD ,Processor or LAN card or mixture of all together ?

Thanks

Myk
