But reading from the RAID1 runs at half the normal rates, while I
expected to get double rates.
Some possible things to check are:
- What did you use for bs= argument to dd? You should use sizes of 64KB
or more (for example, a common size is 1MB)
- Did you use dd on a raw mirror device or on a file system built on the
device? Try both :) The difference you're seeing might be because Linux
buffers raw device I/O and FreeBSD doesn't.
- If you're using it on the filesystem you could try increasing
vfs.read_max sysctl variable
- Try using stripe size of 64K or 128KB with gmirror ("-s" argument) and
bs=X (of dd) with twice that size
In any case, please post results you get from experiments such as these
(also from Linux) to this list.
