OK, changed the SAS RAID 10 to RAID 5 and now my random writes are handing 112 MB/ sek. So it is almsot twice as fast as the RAID10 with the same disks. Any ideas why?

Is the iozone tests faulty?


does IOzone disable the os caches?
If not you need to use a size of 2xRAM for true results.

regardless - the test only took 10 seconds of wall time - which isn't very long at all. You'd probably want to run it longer anyway.
