I am doing a test with bs=64k now: Device: rrqm/s wrqm/s r/s w/s rkB/s wkB/s avgrq-sz avgqu-sz await svctm %util sda 0.00 3258.20 964.00 54.00 3903.20 13652.80 34.49 2.75 2.71 0.68 68.88 sdb 0.00 3270.20 974.80 54.00 3940.80 13710.40 34.31 2.42 2.38 0.55 56.22 > So the speed is the same to the partitioned disk than to the raw disk? > What disk backend are you using in dom0? phy:? tap:aio: ?
