Hey folks, We've got some new hardware and are trying to figure out what best to do with it. Either run CentOS right on the bare metal, or virtualize, or several combination options. Mainly looking at : - CentOS on bare metal - CentOS on ESXi 4.0 with local disk - CentOS on ESXi with 1 VM running Openfiler to serve disk to other VMs And want to benchmark these 3 scenarios So far all we

Greetings I've searched to no avail so far... there is bound to be something more intelligible out there...??? I am playing with bonnie++ for the first time... May I please get some advise and list experience on using this or other disk subsystem benchmark programs properly with or without a GUI ? Test system in this case is a Compaq DL360 with 2 to 4 Gig DRAM and qty (2) 36Gig 10k drives

Hi folks, I would appreciate it if someone can help me understand some weird results I''m seeing with trying to do performance testing with an SSD offloaded ZIL. I''m attempting to improve my infrastructure''s burstable write capacity (ZFS based WebDav servers), and naturally I''m looking at implementing SSD based ZIL devices. I have a test machine with the

Hi folks, For people who might be interested, here is how btrfs performs with two partitions on a single SSD drive in a RAID-1 mirror. This is on a Dell E4200 with Core 2 Duo U9300 (1.2GHz), 2GB RAM and a Samsung SSD (128GB Thin uSATA SSD).

I grabbed a new SSD M4-CT064M4SSD2 from Crucial. I am disappointed. I stuck the unit in an Atom machine (zotac) with CentOS 6 on the disk. It really doesn't "feel" faster than the previous 5400 RPM drive that was in it. The SSD is giving me (in the zotac running centos 6): hdparm -t /dev/sda /dev/sda: Timing buffered disk reads: 298 MB in 3.00 seconds = 99.30 MB/sec The

What is the best way to benchmark disk IO? I'm looking to move one of my servers, which is rather IO intense. But not without first benchmarking the current and new disk array, To make sure this isn't a full waste of time. thanks

I am seeing what seems to be a notable limit on read performance of an ext3 filesystem. If anyone could offer some insight it would be helpful. Background: 12 x 500G SATA disks in a Hardware RAID enclosure connected via 2Gb/s FC to a 4 x 2.6 Ghz system with 4GB ram running RHEL4.5. Initially the enclosure was configured RAID5 10+1 parity, although I've also tried RAID 50 and currently RAID 0.

Has anyone installed a high I/O application such as an email server on SSD drives? Was thinking about doing two SSD's in RAID1. It would solve my I/O latency issues but I have heard that SSD's wear out quickly in high I/O situations? Something like each memory location only has X many writes before its done. Just wandering if anyone has tested it and if newer SSD's are better about

Dear list, I thought I'd just share my experiences with this 3Ware card, and see if anyone might have any suggestions. System: Supermicro H8DA8 with 2 x Opteron 250 2.4GHz and 4GB RAM installed. 9550SX-8LP hosting 4x Seagate ST3250820SV 250GB in a RAID 1 plus 2 hot spare config. The array is properly initialized, write cache is on, as is queueing (and supported by the drives). StoreSave

Hi, I am thinking to change sata disk for /home and I want to know if change to a SSD hd, is a good option. I have 30-40 accounts with 30-50K email in boxes. -- Saludos!! Luciano Andino GNU/Linux user #185103 Santa Fe - Argentina -----------------------------------------------

Hi all, I''ve got a solaris 10 running 9/10 on a T3. It''s an oracle box with 128GB memory RIght now oracle . I''ve been trying to load test the box with bonnie++. I can seem to get 80 to 90 K writes, but can''t seem to get more than a couple K for writes. Any suggestions? Or should I take this to a bonnie++ mailing list? Any help is appreciated. I''m kinda

Hi, I want to replace my hard drives based SW RAID-1 with SSD's. What would be the recommended procedure? Can I just remove one drive, replace with SSD and rebuild, then repeat with the other drive? Thanks Frank -- <listfrank1 at gmail.com>

I posted a thread on this once long ago[1] -- but we''re still fighting with this problem and I wanted to throw it out here again. All of our hardware is from Silicon Mechanics (SuperMicro chassis and motherboards). Up until now, all of the hardware has had a single 24-disk expander / backplane -- but we recently got one of the new SC847-based models with 24 disks up front and 12 in the

Tony?s performance sounds significantly sub par from my experience. I did some testing with gluster 3.12 and Ovirt 3.9, on my running production cluster when I enabled the glfsapi, even my pre numbers are significantly better than what Tony is reporting: ??????????????????? Before using gfapi: ]# dd if=/dev/urandom of=test.file bs=1M count=1024 1024+0 records in 1024+0 records out 1073741824

Hi, for zfs raidz1, I know for random io, iops of a raidz1 vdev eqaul to one physical disk iops, since raidz1 is like raid5 , so is raid5 has same performance like raidz1? ie. random iops equal to one physical disk''s ipos. Regards Victor -- This message posted from opensolaris.org

Preparing to build a small replacement server (initially built in 2005) and normally for the OS I would buy 2x500GB drives and deploy in a RAID 1 configuration. Now we have SSD drives available - does just a single SSD drive offer the same reliability or is there advantage in deploying two in a Raid 1 config? Also, what form factor / interface is best for the SSD OS boot device on a server
