Hi all.
Can someone tell me how to speed up my disk preformance.
I have a Fujitsu Siemens PRIMERGY N200 with the following hardisk config:
2x Seagate ST336704LC Cheetah 36.7GB 10,000RPM 80-Pin Ultra160 SCSI Wide Hard Drive
http://www.netcomdirect.com/sestch361080.html
With a PCI Adaptec I2O 2100S (32MB) RAID controller
http://www.adaptec.com/en-US/support...aid/ASR-2100S/
The 2 disks are in mirror RAID 1, is working smooth.
I have all the kernel hardware drivers that i could find for that server, compiled into my kernel (IDE controller, RAID controller, NIC, ..).
I did a hdparm test on the RAID disk sda:
N200 ~ # hdparm -Tt /dev/sda
/dev/sda:
Timing cached reads: 764 MB in 2.01 seconds = 380.28 MB/sec
Timing buffered disk reads: 8 MB in 3.18 seconds = 2.51 MB/sec
So is there anything I can do / try, besides tweaking with hdparm? I have 2 other Gentoo machines, with normal IDE disks, and they run a lot faster than my SCSI's (wich schould run faster then my IDEs, right?).
Thanks in advanced !!
