Hello,

yes random IO is more targetted to Databases.
noop, i have the installation always made in the same way, and i have respected
the different diskperformace in different disk-parts.....
this was the reason for

#cd /;
at the beginning of my tests.
In the first test i have me shooting self in my foot and i bites me in
my ass :-)))

I was referring to the partitions and slices on the physical disk - each operating system is installed in a different one of these, and so is in a different physical part of the disk - hence you cannot reliably compare IO rates between them (This very issue has been discussed before I recall - try a Google search, as it is quite interesting).

my suggestion going more in the direction...first solve all disk(ata) related
performace issues, then test the mysql-performaces issues again to secure
that you are not lying on an mixing of many problems.... :-)


While noone would complain about faster sequential IO, it is almost certainly not the issue effecting database performance - for instance I find Postgresql consistently faster on RELENG_5 (5.3 onwards) than on RELENG_4 (using the pgbench program).

cheers
