This is only 8 GB of IO. It is possible that (despite dio) you are

This is going to sound dumb, but I thought I had 4 GB of RAM and thus
intentionally used a file size 2x my physical RAM. As it turns out, I
have 32GB of RAM on the box (4G usually shows up as 38.... and I just
saw the 3). Anyway, with a 64GB file the numbers are looking more
accurate (and even low):
393.3 MB/s
We have found dd to be quite trustworthy with [oi]flag=direct.
I like it too. At any rate, I'm going to need to do some new testing to
avoid the ram size (might just set a mem limit on the boot line).
There's still a bit of a discrepancy between IOP performance with iSer
and srpt. Has anyone else done comparisons with the two? I think Erez
was hoping to get some numbers before too long.
