I'm seeing slower then expected disk IO. Also, using sar, it seems the disk is measuring different utilization on the domU then the dom0. I've attached to the disk with: "phy:/dev/PowerVault00/KojiShare,xvdb1,w" That logical volume has a physical volume of an attached 15 disk raid6 array (an MD1000 from dell). Here is the sar data I'm referencing: http://mmcgrath.fedorapeople.org/dom0 and http://mmcgrath.fedorapeople.org/domU The disk does have one other guest attached to it but that guest has very little disk IO. Other items of note: the data periods above happened during a bacula backup. I would have expected much higher data throughput. We're talking about an average read speed of 3.58 MBytes/s and it says its 95% utilized. Meanwhile the dom0 says its only 51% utilized. Additionally on both the domU and dom0 we're not seeing much iowait. On the domU we're only talking about an average of 14%. If the disks truly were fully utilized, I'd expect that to be much higher. These are both RHEL5 boxes. dom0=2.6.18-92.1.18.el5xen. domU=2.6.18-105.el5xen. Also both are x86_64.
