Hi guys, which tool are you using for benchmarking the disks? I used hdparm
in the past (-t and -T) and it didn't show much difference.

I've made different benchmarks with bonnie. I have attached results of dom0 and domU. Each domain has his own harddisk, which are attached to a 3ware raid controller. dom0 has /dev/sda and /dev/sdb, while /dev/sdb is exported to domU as /dev/sda.


Regards,

Jan
