I made a mistake. I missed *one day*. It wasn't 16 hours, but 40 hours. So, write speed is 71 MB/s, and read speed is 41 MB/s. So, read is *slower* - why ? In both cases I used default values for buffers. AFAIK the defaults are quite similar to optimal. The SIO values observed in SDSF remains the same: 2500 for write, 40 for read.
I'm sorry for the mistake. -- Radoslaw Skorupka Lodz, Poland ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with the message: GET IBM-MAIN INFO Search the archives at http://bama.ua.edu/archives/ibm-main.html
