I ran a small test program on a 400GB SATA disk connected to Marvel
chip. Using 2.6.11.12 kernel and get this strange behavior.
# iostat -k -p /dev/sdj
Linux 2.6.11.12 (bakstor2u.localdomain) 08/26/2005
avg-cpu: %user %nice %sys %iowait %idle
0.11 0.00 6.63 54.75 38.51
Device: tps kB_read/s kB_wrtn/s kB_read kB_wrtn
sdj 0.00 0.01 0.00 36 0
start with no io. run program with /dev/sdj and count 10240. i supposed
it should only write 40MB data and no read should be generated. but
result is quite weired. there are almost same amount of read and total
size is around 80MB.
# iostat -k -p /dev/sdj
Linux 2.6.11.12 (bakstor2u.localdomain) 08/26/2005
avg-cpu: %user %nice %sys %iowait %idle
0.11 0.00 6.48 55.65 37.77
Device: tps kB_read/s kB_wrtn/s kB_read kB_wrtn
sdj 4.26 11.31 11.47 80476 81640
pls cc to me.
Thanks!
