bad performance

[andre]

Has anyone tried this?

time dd if=/dev/zero of=testfile3.out oflag=direct bs=4k count=200

200+0 records in
200+0 records out
819200 bytes (819 kB) copied, 1.82324 s, 449 kB/s
dd if=/dev/zero of=testfile3.out oflag=direct bs=4k count=200 0.00s user 0.00s system 0% cpu 1.827 total

I'm on debian lenny 32bit 1G ram.

Hi Andre,

Is there a particular time of day you are performing this test?

Can you please try the following, and post the results here?

time dd if=/dev/zero of=/root/testfile1gb bs=1M count=1024
