Some more information: Meanwhile I tried to format and mount the disk form an older openSuSE machine (openSuSE 11.2, kernel: 2.6.31.14-0.4-desktop, openiscsi version: 2.0.870 revision 28.1), and it worked like a charm. Also performance is quite good
hdparm -tT /dev/sdb /dev/sdb: Timing cached reads: 3394 MB in 2.00 seconds = 1699.06 MB/sec Timing buffered disk reads: 234 MB in 3.02 seconds = 77.37 MB/sec after that mounting the formatted volume on the openSuSE 11.3 system (kernel 2.6.34.7-0.5-desktop, openiscsi version 2.0.870 revision 32.1) also worked, but performance still is terrible: hdparm -tT /dev/sdb /dev/sdb: Timing cached reads: 2 MB in 2.89 seconds = 707.84 kB/sec Timing buffered disk reads: 4 MB in 4.53 seconds = 904.65 kB/sec I don't dare to use that mount in a production system because of the still unsolved difficulties with the mkfs.ext4 and the bad performance. I'm afraid, that under load there will be errors and malfunction again. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "open-iscsi" group.
