I just remounted an ext3 filesystem with '-o data=writeback' and attempted to run bonnie++ as I've been doing all along here. The system basically came to a halt. The first step in the benchmark creates a series of 1GB files. This hasn't take more than a couple of minutes on any other test. After 10 or 15 minutes with it only half way through the creation process I decided to abort the benchmark. And that's difficult because the system is now only semi-responsive.
'data=writeback' isn't the answer. Sorry.
I am mounting my RAID device with the data=writeback option without incident. Cheers,
Okay, I take it back. After remounting with default options, I'm still getting a slowdown. Something else is going on. My Bad!
