I had terrible iowait on my RS8000 G11, processor almost idle, about 3-4 Mbps of reads/writes on disk but iowait reached 30-50% sometimes even 80%.

The server was unusable. Support isn't responding. I decided to run a disk optimization via the panel, but it’s stalled for more than an hour so I’m almost sure that there’s some problem with storage on netcup side. Maybe someone here can help me with this?
