I built a 7 disk vg and put 1 lv on it. I do not want to mount a file system. I just want to write directly to the disk device, /dev/vg1/vol1. My write performance has an odd behavior. If after booting I write to the volume I get roughly 175MB/sec. If after booting I do a mke2fs on the volume, mount it, umount it, then write to the volume I get roughly 230 MB/sec. Any ideas? How can I get top speed without first mounting then umounting the volume? By the way, I tried binding a raw device to the lv and got very bad performance; around 80 MB/sec. Would that be expected? (I'm using redhat 9.0 -> lvm-1.0.3-12) Thanks... _______________________________________________ linux-lvm mailing list linux-lvm@sistina.com http://lists.sistina.com/mailman/listinfo/linux-lvm read the LVM HOW-TO at http://tldp.org/HOWTO/LVM-HOWTO/
