Good point (use a good XFS), but it seems I misspoke myself: Whether we use JFS or XFS, when the cache is enabled, we get less than 50% of the performance we see when we use direct i/o. Direct i/o is not an option for general use, so we need to understand why cached i/o is so slow. We write huge files sequentially on the whole and as a rule in our app, so that is probably a factor. We believe that our i/o overwhelms the block level elevator algorithm, and that the cache flush algorithm isn't particularly concerned with sequential i/o. Can anyone shed some light on this? Thanks.
