I capture the output from fn_virtualfilestats to a table every 5 minutes.

For some 5 minute periods I am showing more than 5 minutes of iostall time.
My understandig of this counter was it showed the amount of iostallms since the last start of the server.

Example Data
Time IOstallMS_fromstart Reads_FromStart Writes_FromStart
10:25 955448046 318137262 48094325
10:30 959500300 318447143 48141441


4052254 IOSTALLMS. 4052 sec for 5 min if my math is correct
309881 Reads
47116 Writes

We have a lot or parallel execution queries.
Is this value related to the waittimes of these queries?

Thanks
