Subject: LVM on raid10,f2 performance issues
Date: Mon, 01 Dec 2008 01:00:32 +0100	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <49332920.5010503@gmail.com> (raw)

When I setup LVM on top of a 4 disk RAID 10 with f2 layout read/write
performance is really worse - it's far below single drive speed...

I did some testing with dd and hexdump and I noticed that after writing
a 128k file (with 64k "X" and 64k "Y") to the lvol the data on the raw
disks looks somewhat weird:

sda:  sdb:  sdc:  sdd:
----------------------
YYYY  ....  ....  XXXX
....  ....  ....  ....
XXXX  YYYY  ....  ....
....  ....  ....  ....

Any hints how to tune this? With LVM on a standard RAID 10 (n2) the data
appears as expected on the disks:

sda:  sdb:  sdc:  sdd:
----------------------
YYYY  YYYY  XXXX  XXXX
....  ....  ....  ....
....  ....  ....  ....
....  ....  ....  ....
