Rate is 39 on with the read_max set to 8, but 115 with read_max set to 64. On the raw device: KB/t is always 128. rate is 41 with the size set to 8 but rises to 57 with the size set to 64! How can the vfs parameters affect access to the raw device ? > In a similar experiment, you could watch gstat (also before and after) > and see if it reports the difference. On the file: read_max=8 gives 75% busy, 42 meg/sec. 64 gives 99.7% and 120 On the device: both sizes give the same results - 98% busy, 59 meg/second I am not sure this is helping my understanding! :-) -pete.
