Josh, there seems to be an inconsistency in your blog. You say 3.10.X is safe, but the graph you show with the poor performance seems to be from 3.13.X which as I understand it is a later kernel. Can you clarify which 3.X kernels are good to use and which are not? Sorry to cut in - So

Hey Mike, What those graphs are showing is that the new kernel reduces the IO required for the same DB load. At least, that’s how we’re supposed to interpret it. I’d be curious to see a measure of the database load for both of those so we can verify that the new kernel does in fact provide

[PERFORM] NVMe or AHCI PCI-express? A comment for people benchmarking...

A tangent to the performance testing thread here, but an important issue that you will see come up in your work this year or next. PCIe SSD may include AHCI PCI SSD or NVMe PCI SSD. AHCI = old style, basically it's faster than SATA3 but quite similar in terms of how the operating system
