So I have this new OCZ Vertex Turbo (30GB) SSD Hard drive and it works amazing.

But this is my problem, with kernel 2.6.31 everything work good,
hdparm -Tt, piozone, iozone, bonnie++ all gives me 215-230MB/s reads
and 140-170MB/s writes.

Using 2.6.32 things get ugly... Using the exact config, absolutely no change I get
100MB/s read and 80MB/s writes.

Now with 2.6.33_rcX I get even worse 78MB/s reads...

Yes I tried different schedulers, cfq is the best by far.

My question is WTH?

[    3.071424] ata1: SATA link up 3.0 Gbps (SStatus 123 SControl 300)
[    3.071607] ata1.00: ATA-8: OCZ VERTEX-TURBO, 1.4, max UDMA/133
[    3.071609] ata1.00: 62533296 sectors, multi 1: LBA48 NCQ (depth 31/32), AA

Wonder if perhaps this is relevant

It's is possible, but doesn't hdparm -Tt and piozone use block read and not the underlying filesystem?

It doesn't really explain the results of my second hard drive which is also EXT4 and which is not an SSD.
It gets steady 100MB/s to 80MB/s in a linear fashion with all kernels.

This is weird.

you're quite right about hdparm, and in my haste to respond I completely overlooked that - sorry about that.

I just read the title and remembered "hey yeah, i remember reading something about that on Phoronix"

So I tried zen-sources 2.6.32 with the BFQ scheduler...

I now get 130-140MB/s read with burst up to 180MB/s.

So this seems to be related to the scheduler.

It does somewhat confirm this article: http://www.linux-mag.com/id/7637
