The problem is that bonnie uses a very small block size. http://pvfs.org/pvfs2-faq.html#sec:badperf Do you have an application that will use PVFS? If so, and you can adjust the way it reads and writes, be sure to use large buffers (on the order of 4MB) if you can. ==rob -- Rob Latham Mathematics and Computer Science Division A215 0178 EA2D B059 8CDF Argonne National Labs, IL USA B29D F333 664A 4280 315B _______________________________________________ Pvfs2-users mailing list [email protected] http://www.beowulf-underground.org/mailman/listinfo/pvfs2-users
