I think the bonnie test at least tells me what max throughput of the
drives and controller's ability to do RAID-5 are. I'll be happy to run
other benchmarks though. Where can I find tiotest? Searches on
google/altavista/freshmeat turned up nothing.
BTW...that system that had 1 reset on every drive last night now has 2 on
every drive.
0:0 Vendor: IBM Model: DNES-309170Y Revision: SA30
Serial Number: AJGN8615
Disk Status: Online, 17915904 blocks, 2 resets
The RELEASE_NOTES.DAC960 mention that this isn't necessarily a problem and
that it may happen from time to time when the system is under heavy load.
This system is under no load. It's sitting here doing nothing. Even the
bonnie results I posted last night were from a run several weeks (and
reboots) ago. I know the notes say that kernel messages on resets are
disabled to keep people from worrying, but it would be nice if I had some
way of knowing when these resets were happening. I guess I'll have to
beat the crap out of it with bonnie, tiotest, and some disk exercising
scripts and see if the reset frequency increases.
