You may want to test one LUN without filesystem, for example with zcav from bonnie++ (http://www.coker.com.au/bonnie++/zcav/). Then the 8 together. This way you have some points of comparison (for ext4 as well as other filesystems) at a lower level. -- solofo -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-ext4" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
