[CentOS-virt] disk i/o benchmarking inside vm

2011-10-08 Thread Dennis Jacobfeuerborn
Hi, I'm having trouble benchmarking disk i/o in my vm's. The data I get seems bogus. I have two centos 6 guests which use a raw image as volume. Each volume is stored on its own physical disk and both disks are the same model. The host system is fedora 15 with the virt-preview repo enabled.
