Subject: Bonnie numbers for RAID-6
Date: 26 Dec 2003 22:59:14 -0800 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <bsjak2$b2t$1@cesium.transmeta.com> (raw)
Some quick Bonnie numbers run on the RAID-6 code. The machine has one
P4/1.8 CPU and 512 MB RAM; the file size was 1024 MB and the filesystem a
"virgin" ext3. Each partition was 10 GB; each disk is a 40 GB ATA/100
drive. The stripe size was 256 KB.
I suspect RAID-6 write performance should be possible to improve;
currently it doesn't do read-modify-write for the syndrome drives, for
example.
RAID-6 across 6 disks:
-------Sequential Output-------- ---Sequential Input-- --Random--
-Per Char- --Block--- -Rewrite-- -Per Char- --Block--- --Seeks---
Machine MB K/sec %CPU K/sec %CPU K/sec %CPU K/sec %CPU K/sec %CPU /sec %CPU

RAID-5 across 5 disks (same capacity):
-------Sequential Output-------- ---Sequential Input-- --Random--
