Unusual high I/O load is mostly a problem with the used SD card. I advise to try a few other different cards. RasPBX does run very well on SD cards, without overloading and without the need of ram disks.

Hi,

processor.
I have moved the db and the logs in ram and .... it's works fine.
I want share the results, because I know that you can do it better that me.
