My company has two separate applications that will be running on the same hardware (but on separate systems). One application is the PostgreSQL database and the other is a custom application that does writes to many (~1,000) relatively small (~672MB) files concurrently. Post the detailed hardware specs (server, local RAID or SAN, number of disks in stripe set, RAID level, etc), and if both applications are running on the same physical machine or different machines. Are both apps writing to the same XFS filesystem or two different filesystems? Your description of "what is where" was very confusing. Oh, and Bonnie++ test results are usually useless, as well as IOZone, etc. Next time ask before taking the time to run benchmarks and jump through hoops to get the data onto the list. :) -- Stan _______________________________________________ xfs mailing list xfs@oss.sgi.com http://oss.sgi.com/mailman/listinfo/xfs
