Hi Everyone,

I'm using bcache with a RAID1 pair of SSDs (for the cache) with a MD-RAID10 spindle array for the backing device. On top of this is LVM. This setup is used with the Xen Hypervisor. Bcache is formatted with a sector size of 512 bytes.

If I use an LV for a Linux DomU, I get fantastic disk performance using fio (about 23k random write). However, when I use IOMeter in a Windows HVM DomU (with GPLPV drivers installed), my avg IOPS is around 4000. I am using the "default" Access Specification. Am I doing something wrong? Changing the number of workers doesn't seem to help.

Any advice is appreciated.

Thanks

Actually nvm, I forgot to enable the dist target for each of the works. Now I'm getting an avg iops of about 34k.

But this does leave me with a question: is the number of "workers" in IOMeter akin to "IO Depth" in fio?

Thanks
