Let me to share some testing RAID 5 results with bonnie++:
What kernel version was this tested on?
Thanks,

It seems that latency is big in whole results, best is for XFS. It is tempting me to think that there are some RAID 5 issues here. It's really strange that block writing for SCSI server disks in RAID5 is no more than 30MB/sec(XFS). I guess I should consider XFS file system or different RAID configuration. May be someone can comment this strange benchmark result? Will very appreciate that.
With regards, Andrey.

Hello,
I have a production mail server with maildir++ structure and about
250GB (~10 millions) of files on the ext3 partition on RAID5. It's
mounted with noatime option. These mail server is responsible to local
delivery and storing mail messages.
System has Debian Squeeze installed and Exim as MDA + Dovecot as
IMAP+POP3 server.
Bonnie results are terrible. Sequential output for Block and Rewrite
are 10722ms and 9232ms. So if there is a 1000 messages in the mail
queue load is extremely high, delivery time is very big and server can
hang. I did not see such problems with UFS on FreeBSD server.
As I understand ext3 file system is really bad for such configurations
with Maildir++ (many smaill files)? Is there a way to decrease disk
latency on ext3 or speed up it?
With regards, Andrey
