Hi Ryo
I attached new file that includes I/O total bandwidth of evaluation system.
We tested total bandwidth of weight policy by I/O in Dom0 and DomU system
and it is measured through iostat tool and dm-ioband debug patch which I gave you several months ago.
Of course, the result in prior report was measured by dm-ioband debug patch.
As a result, the big difference in prior report derives from the location where we measured I/O bandwidth
iostat counts it in application level and dm-ioband debug patch does it in dm-ioband controller.
I think the difference is related with buffer cache.
Thank you.
Have a nice weekend

environment. Because the total throughput of range-bw policy is
8000KB/s, which means the device has a capability to perform over
8000KB/s, but the total throughput of weight policy is lower than
the range-bw policy. In my environment, there is no significant
difference in average throughput between with and without dm-ioband.
I ran fio in the way described in your result file. Here are the
results of my environment. The throughputs were calculated from
"iostat -k 1" outputs.
buffered write test
Avg. throughput [KB/s]
w/o ioband w/ioband
sdb2 14485 5788
sdb3 12494 22295
total 26979 28030
OK, good comments.I omitted the total bandwidth of the evaluation system.I will reply to you about it tomorrow after I check and re-test it again.
Thanks,
