The pgbench score is conspicuously missing too, which is heavily disk dependent, which is universally heavily over-subscribed by VPS providers.
There's a smokescreen at the end "our storage is hardware RAID6 with 15k rpm SAS disks" which means very little. (i.e. if that's internal storage across 8 spindles, it's barely going to sustain 1000 IOPS in anger. That could be monopolized by a just a handful of VMs)
This link should be buried.
- comice 14y agoI ran these benchmarks myself. The pgbench score just failed to run - I tried a few times but it wouldn't even start. I put it down to a bug in the benchmark. Should have explained. But yeah, no diskio tests here really (other than the pgbench one, but I don't know to what extent that would have tested diskio). The benchmark suite tests were chosen by Phoronix. We'll do a diskio one at some point too.
- mryan 14y agopgbench will only stress your disks if the test database is too large to fit entirely in memory (controlled by the scaling factor option). bonnie++ results would also be interesting.
