[rabbitmq-discuss] RabbitMQ writes non stop to disk

Tue Oct 25 17:23:48 BST 2011

All the messages are consumed pretty much immediately. I cannot believe
that our throughput would cause a sustained 6000 writes/s. It doesn't on
all the other brokers (sorry forgot to mention this only happens on one
broker).
