 Try running on different configuration and report back your results.

Hi!
 I've some Xen servers with local disks as DomU system and data storage
 and for some days one with SAN storage.
 
 I've read some threads about storage speed here but didn't really got
 a clue on what's the "best" or fastest way to set it up.
 
 At the moment all the virtual disks are configured as
 
 disk = [ "phy:/dev/vg_xen1/<LV>,xvda1,w", ... ]
 
 The volumes residing on the SAN storage are configured via EVMS and
 I've 200MB/s writing speed from Dom0 (mesured with dd if=/dev/zero
 of=/mnt/file) and "only" around 150MB/s when doing the same from DomU.
 
 Is this expected speed loss or is there any other way to give the DomU
 access to the devices?
 
 Ciao
 Max
