Hi,
I have run a benchmark using the latest Linux kernel
and having
still the elevator set to noop (for each hard drive)
and vm.dirty_expire_centisecs = 6000
The system has 24GB of RAM, 2 SSD Mtron drives on a
RAID controller.
The databases are spread across two ext3 filesystems
mounted on the SSD drives (one filesystem maps to one
SSD drive and the other one to the other SSD drive.
Each drive is seen as a single volume).
The system has 2 cpus with 2 cores each.
Have you mounted those filesystem with the "noatime" option? If you
don't do that you risk causing a *lot* of unwanted seek and write
activity to the journal.
Before starting each benchmark the system has
approximately 16GB of RAM already cached (so that most
of the file reads are reduced)
