I try to re-run ‘iostats md5sum /386/9pcf’. Read result is very fast. first read result is 152KB/s. second read result is 232MB/s. > Your write performance in that test isn’t really > relevant: they’re not hitting the file system at all. I think to write 1GB data to filesystem: iostats dd -if /dev/zero -of output -ibs 1024k -obs 1024k -count 1024 Write result of dd is 31MB/s. But this test may just write to fossil. It may not write to venti. > I’m not sure why you’d see a difference in a > fossil+venti setup of a different size, but the > partition size relationships, and the in-memory > cache size relationships, are what’s mostly important. My hardware has 2GB memory. Plan 9 configurations are almost default. (except /dev/sdC0/bloom) To increase memory size is difficult, because memory size is determined by public QEMU/KVM service plan. — kadota
