Subject: disk performance strange/low
Date: Mon, 17 Aug 2009 23:11:07 +0200 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <200908172311.07660@zmi.at> (raw)
I've got an Areca RAID Controller with 5x 1TB disks, and in the last
time I often found it to be strange. Now I investigated, and found this.
>From another server I NFS mount a share, and make
dd if=/dev/sda of=/server/share/test.dd bs=1024k
so that should do big sequential writes. But the performance goes up and
down, like you see in this output from "iostat -kx 5 555". You see write
KB/s is 5824, 23207, 87283, 704, 40187. Up and down all the time. Could
that be solved by the patch you discussed last time, or is there
something else?
