Latencies: dfs01: 402 microseconds dfs02: 322 microseconds dfs03: 445 microseconds dfs04: 378 microseconds Bandwidths: dfs01: 54 MB/s dfs02: 62.5 MB/s dfs03: 64 MB/s dfs04: 91.5 MB/s Every server machine has just 1 EBS drive, ext3 filesystem, 2.6.18-xenU-ec2-v1.0 - CFQ IO scheduler. Any ideas? From the numbers above - does it have any sense to try to make sw RAID0 with mdadm, or eventually use another filesystem? Thank you for help.
