Physical disks + Software Raid + lvm in domU
Hi,
I''m trying to setup my box as described below:
- The Dom0 exports two disks as physical devices to the DomU
- DomU use the two devices to assemble a software raid device (/dev/md0)
- On the /dev/md0 I create a lvm volume group and lvm volumes on it.
Everything seems to work fine if the lvm volumes on the DomU are lightly
used. Under heavy load the DomU freeze up immediately.

poor read performance
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.

Unexplained reboots in DRBD82 + OCFS2 setup
We're trying to setup a dual-primary DRBD environment, with a shared
disk with either OCFS2 or GFS. The environment is a Centos 5.3 with
DRBD82 (but also tried with DRBD83 from testing) .
Setting up a single primary disk and running bonnie++ on it works.

server disk subsystem benchmarks, bonnie++ and/or others?
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)

Help understanding some benchmark results
G''day, all,
So, I''ve decided to migrate my home server from Linux+swRAID+LVM to Solaris+ZFS, because it seems to hold much better promise for data integrity, which is my primary concern.
However, naturally, I decided to do some benchmarks in the process, and I don''t understand why the results are what they are. I though I had a reasonable understanding of ZFS, but now

Stress test zfs
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

Best mkfs.ext2 performance options on RAID5 in CentOS 4.2
I can't seem to get the read and write performance better than
approximately 40MB/s on an ext2 file system. IMO, this is horrible
performance for a 6-drive, hardware RAID 5 array. Please have a look at
what I'm doing and let me know if anybody has any suggestions on how to
improve the performance...

Write performance with 3ware 9550
I have two identical servers. The only difference is that the first

Xen reboots on dom-U disk stress...
Hi all
I tried to run bonnie++ disk stresser in dom-U, who''s disk is backed
with non-local (on nfs) loop-back file.
The machine rebooted pretty quickly.
So, how do I tell what''s barfing? Is it Xen? Is it dom-0 (nfs or loop-back)?
I looked in dom-0''s /var/log/messages and didn''t see any obvious record
of a dom-0 whoopsie (but is that the right place to look

benchmark results
I've had the chance to use a testsystem here and couldn't resist running a
few benchmark programs on them: bonnie++, tiobench, dbench and a few
generic ones (cp/rm/tar/etc...) on ext{234}, btrfs, jfs, ufs, xfs, zfs.
All with standard mkfs/mount options and +noatime for all of them.
Here are the results, no graphs - sorry:

a comparison of ext3, jfs, and xfs on hardware raid
I'm setting up a new file server and I just can't seem to get the
expected performance from ext3. Unfortunately I'm stuck with ext3 due
to my use of Lustre. So I'm hoping you dear readers will send me some
tips for increasing ext3 performance.
The system is using an Areca hardware raid controller with 5 7200RPM
SATA disks. The RAID controller has 128MB of cache and the disks

Kernel oops when running bonnie++ on btrfs
I wanted to see how btrfs compares to other filesystems so I have been
running bonnie++ on it. While the results are good(much faster then
ext2) every once in awhile I get a kernel oops. I am testing on xubuntu
8.10 with the 2.6.27-7-686 kernel using the latest git sources. Most of the
time the oops happens within 20min of running bonnie++ but sometimes it
takes a few hours. This happens with and

3Ware 9550SX-4LP Performance
I know there are a few 3Ware fans here and I was hoping to find some help. I
just built a new server using a 3Ware 9550SX-4LP with four disks in raid 5.
The array is fully initialized but I'm not getting the write performance I was
hoping for -- only 40 to 45MB/Sec.
3Ware's site advertises 300MB/Sec writes using 8 disks on the PCI Express
version of this card (the 9580 I think.)

ext2 vs. ext3
Hi,
I just tested ext2 and ext3(2.4-0.9.6) with 2.4.8-ac8, using
bonnie++-1.01. The hardware is an old Pentium 100 box with 48M RAM and a
16.6MB/s EIDE harddrive. The test results(see attachment) show ext3 is a
lot slower than ext2 in most aspects. Does anybody get better results?
