Host I/O Size can be configured to 8K (default), 16K, 32K, or 64K on ESX file systems. When a host is writing at a higher Input/Output operation (I/O) size that they have configured with very low read Input/Output operations per second (IOPs) the warnings can be triggered. These warning messages are very low priority and are meant to inform the customer that there are abnormal I/O operations happening in their environment.
