You should be testing bonnie with a file size that is at least double
the amount of memory in your machine - in this case, 4GB files, not
300MB files.
When I compare my bonnie++ result with the one at
http://www.westnet.com/~gsmith/content/postgresql/pg-disktesting.htm,
It seems that there is something wrong with the disks!?
Yes, your machine appears to be very slow. You should be able to
write in the order of 30-50MB/s+ and read in the order of 40-80MB/s+.
Random IO should be in the 200 tps range for a 7200rpm SATA RAID1.
Have you tried the really basic speed test?
time (dd if=/dev/zero of=bigfile bs=8192 count=1000000; sync)
time dd if=bigfile of=/dev/null bs=8192
Divide 8.2GB by the times reported. On a single 10K SATA drive, I get about 55MB/sec write and 61 MB/sec read.
If you can't get similar numbers, then something is wrong.
