FreeBSD 9.1 vs CentOS 6.3

Hi,

There are several things about this that are highly suspect.  


First, wipe out the hardware RAID.  The processor doing RAID computation is, probably, MUCH slower than a core on the CPU.  Even if it's RAID-1 (Simple Mirror) this RAID card is performing tasks that is does not need to do including replicating writes to two targets from the controller or checking it's cache, battery, etc.  If it's possible to disable the onboard cache, do it.


(This controller seems to use the mfi driver so that's probably a re-badged LSI with an LSI200x chipset.  (Lately, I have not been too thrilled with the mfi driver performance.  The mpt seems much more stable and robust - my opinion not bashing to whoever wrote it.)


Take the card to full JBOD mode before testing your "throughput".

Also, make sure that all on-disk caches are "off".  You do not want to get into a double-buffer flush corruption issue.

I see you are using two SSDs as ARC2 caches....  Quite frankly, junk them as well, for now.  You may want to deal with increasing throughput once you find out what the issue is with the base throughput.


Create the appropriate pools/mirrors as necessary, all on simple JBOD.

From there, run a simple test to see what your throughput is on single spindle.  (I'm talking SIMPLE.  dd if=/dev/zero of=/<path>/zeroes.out  bs=128k count=<some ridiculous number like 100000 or more> - This should be over 100 MB/sec throughput.  (with those drives it may be 150 MB/sec or more)

After that, check the throughput of the card/channel.  Write a very simple script script that performs the same throughput test on half the available spindles (something as ludicrous as the same dd command to half your spindles throwing it in the background as each kicks off - Then, do it for all of your drives)  


This is an imperfect test but it's down and dirty.  You can use the performance/benchmark tools later.

Let's just remember that the throughput of 6 Gb/sec is gigaBITS not gigaBYTES.  There's a factor of 8 difference.... or 750 MB/sec... theoretical.

You should exceed channel speed with just 5 of these drives/spindles... use 6 to be sure (I would think you won't see aggregate throughput beyond 725 MB/sec....  If any tool is showing you that on any OS with this configuration, they aren't doing proper calculations and/or they are doing MB vs MiB.  


If you can't get up to that speed, you may have a driver issue or channel issue.

(I was getting as high as 700 MB/sec with 6 SATA drives doing it this way.... No SSD, ASUS MB 990FX with 1100T 6 core proc, 16 GB RAM... )

Well, the I/O isn't the bottleneck (if you follow the link to freebsd-fs, you'll see iostats values) but it seems something related to cpu/scheduler or something else.
Now I am trying vmware 5 on the same server and a vm with centos6: the vm outperforms freebsd with every concurrency from 1 to 48 threads in sysbench oltp tests.

Thanks,
d.
