I/O problem -- dd if=/dev/zero of=bf bs=8k count=500000
Hi all together,
i think that i have some I/O Problems with my HP Proliant Servers (not all). So i did the following Test on some of my servers (different models, different OS): bash> sync; time dd if=/dev/zero of=bf bs=8k count=500000; sync This writes a 4GB File to the disk and measures the writespeed and the time. and for Read i used hdparm: bash> hdparm -t /dev/cciss/DEV (wasn't installed on the all servers so i left some results as XX) So i have the following servers/results(sorted by write speed): W: 92 MB/s - R: 97 MB/s - DL380 G5 - SuSE 10.3 W: 65 MB/s - R: 59 MB/s - DL360 G4 - SLES10 W: 45 MB/s - R: XX MB/s - DL385 G1 - Solaris10 W: 40 MB/s - R: XX MB/s - DL320 G3 - SLES9 W: 35 MB/s - R: 49 MB/s - DL380 G3 - RedHat ES 3 W: 32 MB/s - R: 56 MB/s - DL320 G2 - SuSE 10.1 (Linux Softraid) W: 32 MB/s - R: 56 MB/s - DL380 G3 - SLES10 W: 28 MB/s - R: XX MB/s - DL380 G3 - SuSE 10.3 W: 22 MB/s - R: XX MB/s - DL380 G3 - SLES8 The strange thing is on my desktop workstation (also hp) i get a much better performance: W: 50 MB/s - R: 72 MB/s - dc5700 - Ubuntu 8.10 Can anybody explain that? Or do i just do the wrong tests? It's really strange that a softraid or my desktop pc are faster dann the SA controllers. |
To get realistic measurements use something like bonnie or bonnie++
