Get faster hardware? :) The problem is with your method of benchmarking. I too get a slightly slower hdparm -t time on a raid0 array (six devices) than I do from an individual disk in the array. I attribute this to the overhead that the RAID code has compared to direct disk access. However, if I do something slightly more realistic (timing a 'dd' of a 256M file from the same raid0 array compared to a single hard disk), the raid0 array wins The kernel panic is something that is bad and a more specific problem than "it's too slow" - I am reassigning this bug to the kernel in hopes that you will provide the maintainers with details of that problem. A few questions for the performance first: * what stride-size did you set the raid0 to ? * could you use the tiobench program (http://sourceforge.net/projects/tiobench ) instead of hdparm as that will test FILE access and not raw io access. (the kernel will do things like readahead on files, not on devices) * what kernel version did you try ? 2.4.2-2 or 2.4.3-12 ? You mention a "panic". Any chance of gettin any info of that so we can try to find the bug ? Closing idle bug |
