Writeback or Writethrough? Hi, thanks for looking into this. This is with writeback caching (haven't tried writethrough yet). Some more info about the disk drives used: # ls -l /dev/disk/by-id | grep -v -- -part | grep -v wwn- total 0 lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 9 Feb 8 00:48 ata-INTEL_SSDSC2BA200G4_BTHV7374017P200MGN -> ../../sdf lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 9 Feb 8 00:48 ata-WDC_WD2005FBYZ-01YCBB2_WD-WMC6N0K0SHRT -> ../../sdc lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 9 Feb 8 00:48 ata-WDC_WD2005FBYZ-01YCBB2_WD-WMC6N0K2KNK4 -> ../../sda lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 9 Feb 8 00:48 ata-WDC_WD2005FBYZ-01YCBB2_WD-WMC6N0K5KHNS -> ../../sdb lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 9 Feb 8 00:48 ata-WDC_WD2005FBYZ-01YCBB2_WD-WMC6N0K7212Z -> ../../sde lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 9 Feb 8 00:48 usb-Samsung_Flash_Drive_0352315110002396-0:0 -> ../../sdd with drive writeback cache disabled (hdparm -W 0 /dev/sdx). The flash drive only contains the OS (Ubuntu 14.04) and is not otherwise involved in the benchmark (it is a really slow device:-) Caching device is a 15GB partition on the SSD (/dev/sdf1), backing device is an md raid built from a 32GB partition on each of the HDDs.
