Sequantial IO Performance improvement in 6.1-STABLE

2006-05-16 Thread Mark Kirkwood
I recently upgraded my FreeBSD machines from 6.0R to 6.1-STABLE I noticed a pleasant surprise - improved disk IO! In 6.0R best sequential throughput I ever saw was 170 MB/s (32k block size reads on an 4G file). In 6.1-STABLE I'm seeing 190 Mb/s (32k block size reads on an 4G file). The machi

If you absolutely must run FreeBSD 4.11, install the RELEASE and then run FreeBSD Update. Personally, since FreeBSD 4.11 will reach its EoL about 8 months from now, and the 4.x->[56].x upgrade path is non-trivial, I recommend installing FreeBSD 6.1 instead. Colin Percival
