Hi,
I'm getting a strange slow performance behavior on a recently installed
Server. Here are the details:
Server: Asus AS-TS500-E4A
Board: Asus DSBV-D (
http://uk.asus.com/products.aspx?l1=9&l2=39&l3=299&l4=0&model=1210&modelmenu=2
)
Hard Drives: 3x Seagate ST3400620AS (

)
I'm using the AHCI driver, although with ata_piix, the behavior is the
same. Here's some info about the AHCI controler:
With three disks, if everything was perfect yeah 120MB/s writes. When I
had started out with 4 raptors I was getting 164MB/s read and write. By
default with no optimizations you will not get good speed.
With no optimizations with 10 raptors I get 180-200MB/s, with
optimizations, 464MB/s write and 622MB/s read.
1. Use XFS if you wan't speed.
2. Use 128k, 256k or 1MiB chunk size.
3. Use 8192k, 16384k stripe_cache_size.
4. Use 65536 readahead size.
These are only some of the optimizations I use.
Justin.
