    I've got some WAIT states in my `top` output that aren't mentioned in
    the top man page (unless I've missed it). Here are the relvant lines
    from the display (edited):

       PID USERNAME PRI NICE SIZE RES STATE WAIT TIME CPU COMMAND
    24369 amuser 2 0 228K 228K sleep nqnfst 0:02 0.00%
    amcleanupdisk
    13944 root 10 0 228K 204K idle nanosl 0:00 0.00% cron

    My box: SparcStation LX, OBSD 3.0 GENERIC#47

    I'm using it as a backup server running amanda2.4.2p2. I have nfs
    mounted a data silo that holds data in online disks and which
    automatically (automagically) rotates the data to tape and back as
    needed (it is a robot). I don't know that this is relevant to the wait
    states.

    Any info on these?
