hdparm is reporting harddrive performence of >30Mb/s, yet ext2 & ext3 when copying from 1 disk to another (on seprate channels) performence is sub 5k I/O per sec. but reiserfs I'm getting over 30k I/O's per sec EH? i've obviously missed something here
Also how can I work out aprox. I/O's per second for a given drive performence. Though my current method of hdparm -t /dev/hdc like 10 times works i'd much prefer to do 35Mb/s SDR = xxI/O per sec. And one last thing I've got 4 IDE drives, why can I only get stats in gkrellm for hda & hdb and not hdc & hdd?
