Hi Shehjar, Answers: 1.) Filesystem is default ext3 mounted with "defaults,noatime" 2.) I think it how it was becouse I always put io-threads as top(or near top) translator. Iin TEST5 "iot" can be ignored. 3.) Server(brick) iscsi2 was also client on which I was running the test and it was also a Xen guest. One more thing I'd like to point out. In documentation I miss information of best practices which translators should be put before/after other translators. Example: should one put io-threads before or after io-cache? What does it mean if you configure either way.
