thanks a lot for pointing this out, it indeed makes a *huge* difference !

# dd if=/mnt/t/1 of=/dev/zero bs=4M count=100

100+0 records in
100+0 records out
419430400 bytes (419 MB) copied, 5.12768 s, 81.8 MB/s

(caches dropped before each test of course)

What if you set 1024 or greater value ?
Is bandwidth relative to the read ahead size?

It may help with sequential reads, but it may also slow down small random reads if you set it too big. Probably a whole new article could be written on testing the effects of read_ahead at difference levels in the storage stack.
