Again: how faulty drive could give inconsistency in one file? If it has relocated sectors (additional long seek in some place), it will give consistent performance degradation in that place. > Probably some S.M.A.R.T. investigation might help (different=20 > measurements for different drives, if supported by the drives, that is). SMARTs are almost identical and exclellent. No relocated sectors (at all!) not multizone read errors (at all!), etc. I'll try to synchronize iostat statistic and reading benchmark, but it is hard to do, as I can not think of the way how to know, that these 100 lines of iostat output is exactly this (slow) reading of this file, when there is 10+ files in question and all of them, are read 10+ times. --=20 // Black Lion AKA Lev Serebryakov
