The DBA wrote a patented Java-based application which stress tests the
Oracle IO subsystem. We use this to benchmark our IO subsystems
(compare SAN to NAS, etc). This same benchmark is showing a maximum
sustained throughput of 3,400 IO/sec while the same benchmark with the
same data will max out at 7K+ IO/sec on RAW.
I'll grab the iostat data which we've kept over time and try to make
some sense of it before posting anything additional.
Thanks.

Why are you looking at iops and not the io thruput?
What is the actual io thruput? Please could you share some iostat
numbers with us. In all our tests, we've seen very little difference
in the actual io thruput between raw and ocfs2.
Clustersize will mainly affect the alloc/dealloc performance. It has very
little role to play in io performance. If anything, it could help coalesce
requests to reduce number of ios (read cdbs) required to do the task.

Hello,
I followed the user's guide recommendation of 4K block size and 128K
cluster size. I have 8 32GB OCFS2 filesystems mounted on two nodes.
The DBA has created a large tablespace with 4GB data files on each
filesystem.
The performance is only getting 3,400 IO/sec read/write combined. If I
re-use the LUNs and give the DBA 4GB raw partitions, he can get over
7,000 IO/sec read/write combined (single-node) and over 11,000 IO/sec on
two nodes.
What's my next step to improve performance of OCFS2? Since the DBA is
using 4GB datafiles, should I increase the cluster size to the max 1MB?
Thanks for any hints.
