CPU util with and without Raid5

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



Hello:

I'm seeing some strangeness and want some insight.

Case #1:
I have 5 disks on my system and each is exported to a iSCSI initiator.
When I run IOMeter tool, I see CPU util of about 80% of my CPU for
Seq-Read operations.

Case #2:
If I bundle these 5 disks as Raid5, the performance is 20% lower as
compared to above case but the CPU util is only 30% for Seq Read
operations (as compared to 80% in case #1)

Can someone shed some light on this - why would CPU be lower in #2
(I'm using 2.6.27 kernel in both cases)?
Thanks!
