Subject: periodic iowait spike

The picture in [1], created with isag from the sysstat package, shows a periodic spike in the iowait of my tinderbox server (hardened Gentoo 3.19.6-r1), correlating to write transactions per seconds from a similar graph.

I'm wondering what (kernel, btrfs or ?) is causing this.
