 Hi Managers,
 
 I forgot to put the file argument
 
 Please try /bin/date;/usr/sbin/mkfie 1024m file1 ;/bin/date or
         time /usr/sbin/mkfie 1024m file1

 Thanks to Simon Burr for pointing the mistake.

         Hi Managers,
 
         I have done a small expariment with storage to check the time taken
for creating 1Gb file in
 
         Location Time taken
 
         1) /tmp (Memory is the fastest) - 3 seconds
         2) T3+ ( Veiritas managed Vol)- 40 seconds
         3) T3+ ( Not Veritas Vol )-20 seconds
         4) 3510 ( Veritas managed)-40 seconds
         5) Cheethah 10RPM internal disk of V20Z-20 seconds
         6) Internal disk of 4 year old E420 R- 30 seconds
 
         T3+ and 3510 have raid five+ volumeslicing enabled.
         T3+ has 1GB Cache and 3510 has 2GB cache
         T3+ FC is at 1GBPS and 2GBPS for 3510
         qlogic swithes used here are in serial loop
 
         If you have SAN or direct attached storage with you can you please
try this
 
         /bin/date;/usr/sbin/mkfie 1024m;/bin/date # this will create a 1Gb
file sp please make sure you have enough space before trying this.
 
         I am bit surprised by the time taken by T3+ and 3510 as it looks
like it's on the slower side compaed to even internal drive of the old
server.
