Re[2]: Bad read performance of RAID-0,1

Hello all, I've made some series of bonnie runs for RAID-0. You can look at the results at http://plasma-gate.weizmann.ac.il/~fnevgeny/tmp/raid0.gif. * The best block read performance (that's what I'm mainly interested in) is for 32k or 64k chunk sizes. * 32k seems also like a "magic" number

Bad read performance of RAID-0,1

1999-01-24 Thread Evgeny Stambulchik
Hello all, I need a very fast device for reading/analyzing huge chunks of data, typically hundreds of MB (which are created by a slow process, so write performance is not really important for me). From what I've read in the HOWTO, RAID-1 with N disks should give an N-fold increase in the read per
