Probably the first thing to do is to isolate the problem. First up, I'd
say run bonnie++ against the filesystem locally, then you can eliminate
the possibility of NFS or networking causing problems. Then, have you
any spare space on the LVM VG with which you could try another filesystem?

You say it's the top process, but is it using any CPU, or just blocked
waiting for the discs?
Cheers,
