We have set up LVM stripping across 06 disk in our DB server for improving IOPS performance. However during heavy load, it has been observed that device-mapper **dm-2** asscociated with these 6 disks is having 100% utlization (busy), but the associated disks **sd[c-h]** have only ~50% utilization. Bcoz of the heavy load and 100% utilization, DB server, hence app performance also degrades. Here is the screenshot of busy percentage: enter image description here Here is LV details:

Below is the block size of the underlying file system:

Is there any configuration/settings such that **dm-0** and other disks should experience equal utilization % so that IOPS performance can improve further ? Thanks. **Edit-1:** Output of linear read using **dd** :
$ sudo dd if=/dev/dm-2 of=/dev/null bs=1M count=102400 
102400+0 records in
102400+0 records out
107374182400 bytes (107 GB) copied, 184.611 s, 582 MB/s
For above **dd** command, busy % kept fluctuating between 65% and 85%, but never touched 100% whereas **dm-2** was always 100% busy as below: enter image description here enter image description here
