[Xen-devel] The I/O bandwidth controller: dm-ioband Performance Report
Hi All,
I report new results of dm-ioband bandwidth control test. The previous
test results were posted on Jan 25.
I've got really good results as well as the last report. dm-ioband
works well with Xen virtual disk.
I also announce that dm-ioband website has launched. The patches,
the manual, the benchmark results and other related information are
available through this site. Please check it out:

Bandwidth control on a per partition basis
==========================================
Test procedure
--------------
o Prepare three partitions sda11, sda12 and sda13.
o Create three ioband devices ioband1, ioband2 and ioband3 on each
partition respectively.
o Give weights of 40, 20 and 10 to each ioband device respectively.
o Run 50, 100 and 200 processes issuing random read/write direct I/O
with 4KB data on each ioband device at the same time respectively.
o Count up the number of I/Os which have done in 60 seconds.
o For comparison, do this test under different conditions. The
conditions are:
- Direct access to the physical devices without dm-ioband.
- Give weights in equal proportion to each ioband devices.

Bandwidth control on a per logical volume basis
===============================================
Test procedure
--------------
o Prepare two partitions sda11 and sdb11.
o Create a volume group with the two partitions.
o Create two striped logical volumes on the volume group.
o Give weights of 20 and 10 to lv0 and lv1 respectively.
o Run 128 processes issuing random read/write direct I/O with 4KB data
on each ioband device at the same time respectively.
o Count up the number of I/Os which have done in 60 seconds.
