Well, there are multiple avenues to nail down your specific issues, most documented or hinted at in the archives of this list..... Here is some fuel for thought, on a higher plain: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Btrfs http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/B-tree So you have at least (2) issues. 1. Your specific hardware http://www.coker.com.au/bonnie++/ bonnie is also in portage [eix bonnie] 2. The longer view of increasing file system performance, particularly in a distributed resources environment: (CEPHGS, GlusterFS, BTRFS, others?) is the subject of a hot debate, probably overdue for the devs or the brilliant, on this list, to update us commoners?
