The disk sector size and how it's managed really determine how well it will perform under various access sizes. In your case remember, the disk sector size is 4k, so we would hope that Linux is "doing the right thing" in coalescing these 1k accesses into chunks which get the most out of your hard d

All the tests where ran at the bare metal level. The results on comment 16 where ran over a ext4 over lvm over raid1. The results on comment 17 where ran over a ext4 over a plain partition. I don't know how bad are those numbers... Maybe it's normal that working with 1k blocks kill's the disk perf

Are these ext4 test results done at the bare metal level or from the guest? With the guests themselves, are they using the raw volume for the image or do they exist as an image file on the filesystem. If they're images files, then what fs type do they live on? Thanks. -- You received this bug

In re-examining the evidence and chatting with Serge a few things come to mind. 1) There's a disparity between the conclusion formed in comment #3 and the latest udev logs. It could easily be true that the udev logging simply was held long enough for that last LV to be activated. It appears to b

I've attached /dev/.initramfs/udev.out. I don'n know if this is relevant, but the write performance on the disks is horrible, I think this could be caused by mis-aligment of partitions ("dd if=/dev/zero of=zeros bs=64b oflag=dsync" gives me around 400kB/s) ** Attachment added: "Contents of /dev/.i
