I've tried a variety of methods to measure the i/o performance I can
get from 2 of my Ultra2 SCSI disks (Seagate Cheetah and a Quantum
Viking II). I am hard pressed to get better than 17MB/sec from the
Cheetah, and 10MB/sec from the Viking.
I am aware that expecting the "80MB/sec" rate is not realistic, but
these values seem absurdly low. I am trying to figure out why this
should be happening. I did tests on entire disk partitions (/dev/sda,
/dev/sdb) and on a newly created file in a newly created ext2
filesystem.
