RE: [Xen-users] Xen SAN Questions

Well I figured out one thing, that my numbers were totally off for EXT3 and XFS 
without DRBD haha.

I will do some more testing, I can't believe I ruled out "dd" as a viable 
benchmark.

*smacks forehead*

Thanks for the help, I am testing with those DRBD config options now.

Hmm, what is your DRBD setup? Try the following:

     no-disk-barrier;
     no-disk-flushes;
     no-md-flushes;
     no-disk-drain;

dd if=/dev/zero of=/share/test bs=1G count=8
