Were you using the gstat code or some other code? Also, was your control system w/ the patch, but w/ the sysctl set to zero to possibly eliminate any code alignment issues? > graphs show max/avg disk read service times for both systems across 36 > spinning drives. both systems are relatively busy serving production > traffic (about 10 Gbps at peak). grey shaded areas on the graphs > represent time when systems are refreshing their content, i.e. disks > are both reading and writing at the same time. Can you describe why you think this change makes an improvement? Unless you're running 10k or 15k RPM drives, 128 seems like a large number.. as that's about halve number of IOPs that a normal HD handles in a second.. I assume you must be regularly seeing queue depths of 128+ for this code to make a difference, do you see that w/ gstat? Also, do you see a similar throughput of the system? -- John-Mark Gurney Voice: +1 415 225 5579 "All that I will do, has been done, All that I have, has not."Received on Fri Oct 11 2013 - 19:52:11 UTC
