I created 500G slices. Partitioned and mounted them
Then did a simple
"time dd if=/dev/zero of=/mnt/data1 bs=1k count=1200000"
This gave me a speed of over 150MB/s
Then i deleted entire RAID thing.. recreate 2 LUNs
30G, and whatever is left.
Create a PV on the bigger drive with 1 VG and 3 LVs of equal sizes.
Format and run the dd command again.
The speed is 130MB/s now.
Its a bit confusing.
Does LVM slow down things? Or i did something that is not really of any
relevance to check IO speed.
I used mkfs.ext3 -m0 -E stride=96 -O dir_index /dev/sdb1 ...
I have a RAID5 volume consisting of 6 disk with stripe size = 64k
I hope the stride=96 is optimal.
Should i stick with LVM, or go back to the older way?
Thank you.
On second thoughts, i have gone completely off-topic now.
It isn't CentOS anymore.
So it would be appropriate for me to end this topic here.
Thanks for the help.
