Hi, I am using the iozone tool for measuring the file system performance. but when I use the auto mode in iozone the read performance is very low in some cases(getting 32MB/s for record length > 128kb, for iGB file size) compared to throughput mode(70MB/sec irrespective of the record or file size). What is the reason for this difference.
