    Exclamation software or hardware problem?

    When a server constantly crashing due to a sudden iowait hikes up to 200%, but the server is still pingable, is it usually the software or hardware problem?

    I really need to know this, thanks.

    Sounds like hardware, probably a problem with a RAID card or something?

    Can still be pinged as the server is up, but the OS cannot read the data.

    Probably hardware. Could also be motherboard.
