HW: chipset 875WPE, P4 2.4HT, 3 SATA WD 160JD, 1 ATA Samsung 80Gb.
SW: kernel 2.6.6, libata drivers for PROMISE S150 TX4.
CONFIG: 256K readahead on all drives.
	sda1,sdb1,sdc1->RAID0 (md0)
	sda2,sdb2,sdc2,hda1->RAID5 (md1)
	about 20 partitions on LVM2 with xfs,ext3,reiserfs
	chunksize on md0, md1 = 256k - this was optimal with 2.6.0test3 about
	year ago.

Theoretically RAID0 read speed should be nearly read speed of one
drive multiply to number of drives, but I have:
dd if=/dev/sda1 of=/dev/null gives about 44 Mb/s on all drives (but  on
sii3112 ide driver with  WD 160JD about 55Mb/s and on libata the same
44)

>dd if=/dev/md0 of=/dev/null
>2450142720 bytes transferred in 26,436693 seconds (92679622 bytes/sec)
And bus throughput in gkrellm about 180-340 Mb/s

But it's not main problem. Main problem in that LVM2 lower read speed
more than two times:
>dd if=/dev/raid0/video of=/dev/null
>837353472 bytes transferred in 17,210040 seconds (48654941 bytes/sec)
* /dev/raid0/video goes first at md0.

The same results with RAID5(md1):
>kpml:/soft#  dd if=/dev/md1 of=/dev/null
>1612713984 bytes transferred in 20,844837 seconds (77367551 bytes/sec)
>kpml:/soft#  dd if=/dev/raid5/soft of=/dev/null
>565116928 bytes transferred in 17,450073 seconds (32384789 bytes/sec)

Seems, that LVM2 is main problem.

I try 2.6.8 and with it md* devices had worse perfomance with all this
tests, on 2.4 perfomance worse than on any 2.6.

What should I do to get read speed greater and have about 20 partitions
on md* block devices? I have a lot of space in LAN to temporarly backup
all data from server and remake something. Additionally I can swap 80Gb
Samsung to 160Gb ATA  WD JB.

p.s. Forgive me for bad Eng.

I use my arrays for large video files so large readahead is good.

I use blockdev on the lvms:
/sbin/blockdev --setra 4096 /dev/video_vg/video_lv
/sbin/blockdev --setra 4096 /dev/video_vg/huge_lv

the md device:
/sbin/blockdev --setra 4096 /dev/md0

and the raw devices
/sbin/blockdev --setra 4096 /dev/sda
/sbin/blockdev --setra 4096 /dev/sdb
/sbin/blockdev --setra 4096 /dev/sdc
/sbin/blockdev --setra 4096 /dev/sdd
/sbin/blockdev --setra 4096 /dev/hdb

For a single process md only reads from 1 disk at a time.

I think md would use both (or more) disks if the number of processes were
increased.  Bit I am not sure about this.

You could try to verify this, but...

By running 2 simple dd commands at the same time would just cause reads from
cache which may double your results, but would not be a valid test.

2 dd commands reading from different sections of the device would avoid the
cache issue but may cause head thrashing.  Maybe md tracks where it read
from each device and would use the same disk every time for the same dd
process.  I don't know.

Seems, that LVM2 is main problem.

I try 2.6.8 and with it md* devices had worse perfomance with all this
tests, on 2.4 perfomance worse than on any 2.6.

What should I do to get read speed greater and have about 20 partitions
on md* block devices? I have a lot of space in LAN to temporarly backup
all data from server and remake something. Additionally I can swap 80Gb
Samsung to 160Gb ATA  WD JB.

p.s. Forgive me for bad Eng.

Vladimir,

In the part of the message that was quoted to the linux-raid list the
performance of the RAID devices isn't specified.  All I see is you
testing /dev/sda1 and mentioning kernel modules, but no mention of
/dev/mdX or /dev/YourVG/YourLV.

What types of numbers are you seeing when using your RAID/LVM devices in
your dd test?  Also, you may want to try using bonnie++ to get some
representative numbers as this program tends to be a little more
representative of actual performance without involving the linux VM
cache.

I have yet to use 2.6 for RAID/LVM so I can't point you in a specific
direction, however I didn't see any performance numbers for RAID or LVM
devices.

Try running bonnie++ or /dev/mdX or /dev/YourVG/YourLV and seeing if
it's what you expect.

Good luck,
Andy.

It was my reply to answer, tests with md and lvm was in first message
to this linux-raid lisst.

And setting readahead on lvm volumes helpes. Now I get about 80 Mb/s
read on raid5 and about 100Mb/s on raid0, but the cpu overhead was very
high, but acceptable  for me. But it helps only in 2.6.6! 2.6.7 and
2.6.8.1 much slower than 2.6.6.
