Re: odd behavior with geom - gmirror - read/write simultaneously

2006-04-05 Thread Vasil Dimov
ur test on my mirror gstat shows read and write activity, but the reading dd quits very soon, because reading appears to be faster than writing. I would suggest that you write to one file and read from another file when you do the parallel test. Just a hint: for the write test you should better use /dev/zero instead of /dev/ad0 - ``dd if=/dev/zero of=/home/test.data bs=4m'' for obvious reasons. -- Vasil Dimov [EMAIL PROTECTED] Testing can show the presence of bugs, but not their absence. -- Edsger W.
