Subject: Array read 3 time slower to read after data fully loaded
Date: Thu, 18 Nov 2010 07:30:14 +0200	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <4CE4B9E6.1040802@geograph.co.za> (raw)

Hi,
Can anyone please explain this to me?

For the last >30 hours I have been loading some 2.5TB of 200-400MB tiff 
images, from another PC on our internal network, onto this new array.
Yesterday, during this load process, I copied 10 of these files (about 
2.5GB) from the array onto the /home directory of the same system.

It took 33 seconds, equating to some 75MB/s.

This morning I came in to find that the load process had finished, so I 
deleted the 10 test files from /home, and redid the identical copy test 
(using bash-history, so: identical).

It took 123 seconds, equating to some 20MB/s.

Que? (as in Manuel from Faulty Towers :-)  )


Thanks & regards,
Zoltan
