Here are the resuts of running IOZone on an ext3 filesystem on an LVM volume residing on a SAN LUN (it was ran with 5 parallel processes).
"Throughput report Y-axis is type of test X-axis is number of processes" "Record size = 4 Kbytes " "Output is in Kbytes/sec"
" Initial write " 81628.55
" Rewrite " 83354.72
" Read " 115595.02
" Re-read " 119306.09
" Reverse Read " 47684.20
" Stride read " 10011.09
" Random read " 16751.27
" Mixed workload " 5659.77
" Random write " 1661.85
" Pwrite " 36030.83
Now this is all nice and dandy, but my question is: how do I know whether the values are as good as they could be or there is something to tweak (and if so, what?)
The actual usage I will have for that Logical Volume is to act as virtual disk for a VM.
