Hello,

Try to use fio - http://git.kernel.dk/?p=fio.git;a=summary

You may use my rpm - fio-2.0.10-1.el6.x86_64.rpm http://yum.aclub.net/pub/linux/centos/6/umask/x86_64/fio-2.0.10-1.el6.x86_64.rpm or rebuild this src.rpm fio-2.0.10-1.el6.src.rpm http://yum.aclub.net/pub/linux/centos/6/umask/SRPMS/fio-2.0.10-1.el6.src.rpm using fresh sources.

I have two openvz servers running Centos 6.x both with 32GB of RAM. One is an Intel Xeon E3-1230 quad core with two 4TB 7200 SATA drives in software RAID1. The other is an old HP DL380 dual quad core with 8 750GB 2.5" SATA drives in hardware RAID6. I want to figure out which one has better random I/O performance to host a busy container. The DL380 currently has one failed drive in the RAID6 array until I get down to replace it, will that degrade performance? Is there an easy way to test disk I/O? On a plain Gigabyte file copy the software RAID1 box seems to be twice as fast. _______________________________________________ CentOS mailing list CentOS@centos.org http://lists.centos.org/mailman/listinfo/centos
