What are you using for the block size for dd? If there's a way for you to figure out the hard drives cache size, that might be the most efficient. Or separate ibs & obs parameters if using different hard drives with differing cache sizes. In the old days, the conventional wisdom was to use a block size that corresponded to the block size of the file systems, but if you are doing raw disk I/O with modern drives that have huge on-board caches, that probably doesn't make sense. I'd think something like 8MB or even 16MB would be worth trying. Have you experimented with different sizes for bs / ibs / obs? -kevin -- Kevin W.
