Hi,
Yes, the second system (RAID-5) has 8 disks and it shows the same
performance problems with ext4 and not XFS (as shown from previous
e-mail), where XFS usually got 500-600MiB/s for writes.
http://groups.google.com/group/linux.kernel/browse_thread/thread/e7b189bcaa2c1cb4/ad6c2a54b678cf5f?show_docid=ad6c2a54b678cf5f&pli=1
For the RAID-5 (from earlier testing): <- This one has 8 disks.
-o data=writeback,nobarrier:
10737418240 bytes (11 GB) copied, 48.7335 s, 220 MB/s
-o data=writeback,nobarrier,nodelalloc:
10737418240 bytes (11 GB) copied, 30.5425 s, 352 MB/s
An increase of 132MiB/s.
Justin.
