Hi everyone, ive encountered performance problems with Xen3-unstable and a raid5 with 5 120Gb Maxtor IDE discs (1 Spare). After testing in different Kernels i also noticed that 'normal' IDE Disc access is very slow using Whitebox Linux 4 (eq RHEL 4) the performance seems to be okay for this IDE Raid, but using Xen3-unstable Domain-0 the Performance is incredible slow ... does anyone know why ? here are the bonnie results, using the configuration 1 IDE Disc + LVM (physical Disc benchmark) 4 IDE Discs Raid5 + LVM (raid5) thanks for any hint Kind regards Michael Lang Whitebox 4 original Kernel # bonnie -d tmp/ -s 100 -v 5 -p 2 Bonnie: Warning: You have 1011MB RAM, but you test with only 100MB datasize!
