HD Writes WAY down
Hi,
I'm trying to troubleshoot an issue with a server; random writes are
way to slow.
I benchmarked two (different) servers with tiobench --size 100 and
this is what I got:
Server1 (6x10000rpm SCSI drives in RAID 5):
Sequential Writes

Factoring for RAID5, is this normal? Can I tune this somehow?
