Its a normal HD i guess 4096 is ok,
but i do not think that this matters.

Hi,

A blocksize of 1G seems extreme.
What is the optimal blocksize of the output device?

Cheers,

Hi list,
i found a strange ext4 (?) effect.

when i write to a disk:
dd if=/dev/zero of=xx bs=1G count=1

reports 2.6 GB (expected)
doing again speed drops to 200MB.

removing xx restores old speed.

I ask the net and it seems that the effect is there
since kernel 2.6. I found the explainations a bit confusing.

does anyone know more ?

note: i was analysing a performace issue for mysql and i am
not sure if that problems matters outside tests.
