me again ... isn't there anybody that could give ANY hint on what's
wrong?
I did some test with dd and the result is terrible!
LVM
explendidos:/shared# dd if=/dev/zero of=test1.dd bs=64 count=1000
1000+0 records in
1000+0 records out
64000 bytes transferred in 20.019969 seconds (3197 bytes/sec)
NOT LVM
dd if=/dev/zero of=test1.dd bs=64 count=1000
1000+0 records in
1000+0 records out
64000 bytes transferred in 0.004496 seconds (14234595 bytes/sec)
I am searching and searching but can't find anywhere any answer :(
