Linux 软件阵列与低端硬件阵列卡性能对比

本文主要测试 linux 软件阵列卡与 LSI SAS 9211-8i 硬件阵列卡做 raid 0 的性能.

测试不太严谨,结果仅供参考.

测试结果:

从结果可以看出,低端的硬件阵列卡性能还不如软件阵列.

软件阵列顺序写 Block 的时候,大概比硬件阵列要快 4M/s 的样子. Rewrite 都要快 38M/s . 顺序读 Block 要快 168M/s .

但是软件阵列确实比硬件阵列消耗 CPU 些. 很多测试的结果软件阵列大概比硬件阵列多用了 5%~10% 的 CPU.

测试环境:

CPU: Pentium E5400
内存: 4G (可用 3782 M)
系统: Centos 7.2.1511
硬盘: 4 个同型号的 2TB 的硬盘,两个用来组硬件阵列,两个用来组软阵列.

LSI SAS 9211-8i 之所以称为低端阵列卡,因为阵列卡本身无缓存.

测试工具: bonnie++

列出所有硬盘:

[root@host220 ~]# fdisk -l

Disk /dev/sdc: 2000.4 GB, 2000398934016 bytes, 3907029168 sectors
Units = sectors of 1 * 512 = 512 bytes
Sector size (logical/physical): 512 bytes / 512 bytes
I/O size (minimum/optimal): 512 bytes / 512 bytes


Disk /dev/sdd: 2000.4 GB, 2000398934016 bytes, 3907029168 sectors
Units = sectors of 1 * 512 = 512 bytes
Sector size (logical/physical): 512 bytes / 512 bytes
I/O size (minimum/optimal): 512 bytes / 512 bytes

sdb 为由硬件阵列卡组的 raid0 ,两个 2TB,所以 sdb 大小 将近有 4TB. sdc sdd 也是插在阵列卡上,但是直通的,所以直接显示 2TB 一个.

查看软阵列信息:

[root@host220 ~]# cat /proc/mdstat 
Personalities : [raid0] 
md0 : active raid0 sdd[1] sdc[0]
      3906766848 blocks super 1.2 512k chunks
      
unused devices: <none>

可以看到由 sdc sdd 两个硬盘组建成 md0 这个软 raid0 阵列.

查看挂载信息:

[root@host220 ~]# df -h | grep -E 'mnt|Mount'
Filesystem               Size  Used Avail Use% Mounted on
/dev/md0p1               3.6T   89M  3.4T   1% /mnt/raidtest/soft
/dev/sdb1                3.6T   89M  3.4T   1% /mnt/raidtest/hw

soft 文件夹挂载的是软阵列.hw 文件夹挂载的是硬阵列.

结果整理

bonnie++ 的命令输出的最后一行是 csv 的行,我们把它们都写到 /tmp/a.csv 文件里,再调用 cat a.csv | bon_csv2html .这样就把结果通过 html 表格来展示了.

bonnie++ 的结果解析请看参考此两篇文章.

Sequential Output 部分表示写文件的相关信息 Sequential Input 部分表示读文件的相关信息 Per Chr 表示以字符为单位读写文件 Block 表示以 block 为单位读写文件 Rewrite 表示修改并重写已经存在的文件的每一个 block K/sec 表示每秒读或写文件的速率，以 K 为单位 %CP 表示在某阶段执行操作时平均消耗的 CPU

Sequential Create 和 Radom Create 这两大类测试均是用创建，读取，删除大量的小文件来测试磁盘效率。
