Linear write performance good, even across many erase blocks.

Note how all diff values below 4 MB are smaller than all diff values above 4 MB. Something strange is going at at 4 MB, so it's not clear whether it belongs to the upper or lower half. > # ./flashbench -a /dev/sde --blocksize=8192 --count=50 > sched_setscheduler: Operation not permitted > align 536870912 pre 879µs on 899µs post 858µs diff 30.9µs > align 268435456 pre 847µs on 906µs post 842µs diff 61.1µs > align 134217728 pre 996µs on 968µs post 836µs diff 52µs > align 67108864 pre 811µs on 839µs post 757µs diff 55µs > align 33554432 pre 871µs on 908µs post 847µs diff 48.7µs > align 16777216 pre 854µs on 914µs post 818µs diff 78µs > align 8388608 pre 851µs on 908µs post 850µs diff 58.2µs > align 4194304 pre 892µs on 880µs post 908µs diff -20511n > align 2097152 pre 828µs on 849µs post 885µs diff -7708ns > align 1048576 pre 874µs on 886µs post 862µs diff 17.9µs > align 524288 pre 852µs on 869µs post 915µs diff -15025n > align 262144 pre 844µs on 895µs post 940µs diff 2.73µs > align 131072 pre 848µs on 884µs post 907µs diff 6.1µs > align 65536 pre 837µs on 857µs post 840µs diff 18µs > align 32768 pre 831µs on 864µs post 861µs diff 17.7µs > align 16384 pre 855µs on 841µs post 826µs diff 201ns > > Could it be some linux cache is in the way? No, all I/O is done with O_DIRECT, which completely bypasses the page cache. In theory, there could be a cache on the stick, but that's rarely the case. The USB protocol adds some jitter here, and for some reason you cannot use real-time scheduling, which makes the results less accurate. > > Another helpful indication would be the output of 'fdisk -lu > > /dev/sde': It will show the start of the partition and the size of > > the drive, both should be a multiple of the erase block size. > > # fdisk -lu /dev/sde > > Disk /dev/sde: 16.2 GB, 16240345088 bytes > 255 heads, 63 sectors/track, 1974 cylinders, total 31719424 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 identifier: 0x925df597 Ok, 16240345088 bytes is 121 times 128 MiB, so it's certainly not using 4128 KiB blocks or some other strange unit. > Device Boot Start End Blocks Id System > /dev/sde1 63 31712309 15856123+ 7 HPFS/NTFS/exFAT > > I didn't use sde1 but sde for the tests, so it shouldn't have a meaning. > I'll change the partition to start at 2048 or whatever I find the erasesize to be. Be careful here. The original FAT layout is typically made specifically for this stick, so it's probably a good idea to make a backup of the first few blocks. > > Finally, a third way is to look at a gnuplot chart on the output of > > > > flashbench -s -o output.plot /dev/sde --scatter-order=10 > > --scatter-span=2 --blocksize=8192 gnuplot -p -e 'plot "output.plot"' > > > > On many drives, the boundaries between erase blocks show up as spikes > > in the chart. > > Phew, two lines, more or less, and spikes everwhere (see attached). Right, nothing to see here yet. It only shows the first 8 MB, so if the spike is every 8 MB, it won't show up here. Use --scatter-order=12 to show more. Also, the jitter from the USB protocol may hide some details, which might get better with a larger --count= value, but that would make the test run much longer. It's probably good enough to assume that the size is actually 8 MB or 4 MB, and keep going from there. > > Also, please post the USB ID and name output from 'lsusb' for > > reference. > > # lsusb -v > Bus 001 Device 005: ID 1b1c:1a90 Ok. > Now with 16 I got it slower, still no visible border: > > # ./flashbench -O --erasesize=$[4 * 1024 * 1024] --blocksize=$[64 * 1024] /dev/sde --open-au-nr=4 > sched_setscheduler: Operation not permitted > 4MiB 7.3M/s > 2MiB 11.2M/s > 1MiB 15.7M/s > 512KiB 19.2M/s > 256KiB 14.5M/s > 128KiB 12.8M/s > 64KiB 18.8M/s > # ./flashbench -O --erasesize=$[4 * 1024 * 1024] --blocksize=$[64 * 1024] /dev/sde --open-au-nr=16 > sched_setscheduler: Operation not permitted > 4MiB 9.77M/s > 2MiB 3.41M/s > 1MiB 7.38M/s > 512KiB 5.69M/s > ^C (took too long) If it takes too long, that's a good indication that something interesting is happening ;-) > Seems that stick wants to hide it's internals? Not completely unusual, but somewhat harder than most. I've committed some updates now that might help make the --open-au results a bit clearer, and faster. What I would recommend now is to update to the latest git version (just uploaded), and then try increasing numbers of --open-au-nr= with 4 MB erasesize, until you hit the cutoff. Try the same with --random, for the last fast one and the first slow one: ./flashbench -O --erasesize=$[4 * 1024 * 1024] /dev/sde --open-au-nr=5 ./flashbench -O --erasesize=$[4 * 1024 * 1024] /dev/sde --open-au-nr=6 ./flashbench -O --erasesize=$[4 * 1024 * 1024] /dev/sde --open-au-nr=7 ... ./flashbench -O --erasesize=$[4 * 1024 * 1024] /dev/sde --open-au-nr=N => N is the number of 4 MB blocks that can not be handled ./flashbench -O --erasesize=$[4 * 1024 * 1024] /dev/sde --open-au-nr=(N-1) --random ./flashbench -O --erasesize=$[4 * 1024 * 1024] /dev/sde --open-au-nr=N --random => Verify that the (N-1) --random case is still fast ./flashbench -O --erasesize=$[8 * 1024 * 1024] /dev/sde --open-au-nr=((N-1)/2) --random ./flashbench -O --erasesize=$[8 * 1024 * 1024] /dev/sde --open-au-nr=(N-1) --random ./flashbench -O --erasesize=$[8 * 1024 * 1024] /dev/sde --open-au-nr=(N-1) --random Arnd

Sandisk white label 2GB (from Versatile Express board)

by Arnd Bergmann

This is the first Sandisk Card that I've seen that does not have any optimizations for random access. It's particularly bad since this card was specifically shipped with a Linux box for the purpose of installing Debian on it. The label says "15 MB/s read, 7 MB/s write".

Unfortunately, running flashbench is not very user friendly yet.

The cutoff at --open-au-nr=4 is coincidentally the same as for the SD card I was testing. This is what happens in the animation in http://lwn.net/Articles/428799/.

If your partition is not aligned to 8 KB or more (better: to the erase block size, e.g. 4 MB) or if the file system writes smaller than 8 KB naturally aligned blocks at once, the drive has to do read-modify-write cycles that severely impact performance and the expected life-time. I cannot see any block that is optimzied for storing the FAT, which is good, as this means that the manufacturer did not exclusively design the stick for FAT32, as is normally the case with flash memory cards. For this stick, I would strongly recommend creating the file system in a way that writes at least 16 KB naturally aligned blocks at all times, but I don't know if that's supported by XFS. Also, the limitation of forcing a garbage collection when writing to more than four 4 MB (or so) segments may be a problem, depending on how XFS stores its metadata. The good news is that it can do random write access inside of the erase blocks. Arnd

Sandisk Netbook Edition 8 GB SDHC Class 2

by Arnd Bergmann

I wanted to find out if the Sandisk Netbook Edition does anything particularly well for Netbooks. Apparently this is not the case, it's a standard Sandisk Algorithm for older cards. Well, 20€ wasted ;-) This card can write random access to 6 2MB allocation units, but does not store a lookup table, so it always needs to garbage-collect the allocation unit when it does this, making random access relatively slow. Minimum size for random-access writes is 64 KB, anything smaller seems to do 64 KB copy-on-write. As a twist, it can do random access to 4 segments, but linear access to 6 segments. $ head /sys/block/mmcblk0/device/{cid,csd,scr,*rev,*id,name,serial} ==> /sys/block/mmcblk0/device/cid <== 035344534430384780708b1879009500 ==> /sys/block/mmcblk0/device/csd <== 400e00325b5900003b377f800a404000 ==> /sys/block/mmcblk0/device/scr <== 0235000000000000 ==> /sys/block/mmcblk0/device/fwrev <== 0x0 ==> /sys/block/mmcblk0/device/hwrev <== 0x8 ==> /sys/block/mmcblk0/device/cid <== 035344534430384780708b1879009500 ==> /sys/block/mmcblk0/device/manfid <== 0x000003 ==> /sys/block/mmcblk0/device/oemid <== 0x5344 ==> /sys/block/mmcblk0/device/name <== SD08G ==> /sys/block/mmcblk0/device/serial <== 0x708b1879 $ sudo ./flashbench --open-au --open-au-nr=1 /dev/mmcblk0 --blocksize=8192 \ --erasesize=$[2* 1024 * 1024] --random 2MiB 5.34M/s 1MiB 3.01M/s 512KiB 2.39M/s 256KiB 2.34M/s 128KiB 2.37M/s 64KiB 2.31M/s 32KiB 1.69M/s 16KiB 1.69M/s 8KiB 861K/s $ sudo ./flashbench --open-au --open-au-nr=4 /dev/mmcblk0 --blocksize=8192 \--erasesize=$[2* 1024 * 1024] --random 2MiB 4.08M/s 1MiB 4.96M/s 512KiB 3.05M/s 256KiB 2.36M/s 128KiB 2.33M/s 64KiB 2.3M/s 32KiB 1.91M/s 16KiB 1.61M/s 8KiB 835K/s $ sudo ./flashbench --open-au --open-au-nr=5 /dev/mmcblk0 --blocksize=8192 \ --erasesize=$[2* 1024 * 1024] --random 2MiB 3.32M/s 1MiB 4.5M/s 512KiB 3.11M/s 256KiB 2.27M/s 128KiB 2.14M/s 64KiB 1.38M/s 32KiB 715K/s 16KiB 395K/s 8KiB 193K/s $ sudo ./flashbench --open-au --open-au-nr=6 /dev/mmcblk0 --blocksize=1024 \ --erasesize=$[2* 1024 * 1024] 2MiB 5.36M/s 1MiB 5.38M/s 512KiB 5.38M/s 256KiB 5.38M/s 128KiB 5.38M/s 64KiB 5.38M/s 32KiB 4.54M/s 16KiB 3.46M/s 8KiB 2.59M/s 4KiB 1.35M/s 2KiB 631K/s 1KiB 308K/s $ sudo ./flashbench --open-au --open-au-nr=7 /dev/mmcblk0 --blocksize=1024 --erasesize=$[2* 1024 * 1024] 2MiB 5.42M/s 1MiB 4.19M/s 512KiB 2.15M/s 256KiB 1.12M/s 128KiB 583K/s 64KiB 299K/s 32KiB 152K/s ^C $ sudo ./flashbench --findfat --fat-nr=10 /dev/mmcblk0 --blocksize=1024 --erasesize=$[2* 1024 * 1024] --random 2MiB 5.29M/s 5.37M/s 5.38M/s 3.34M/s 3.33M/s 3.35M/s 3.35M/s 3.37M/s 5.33M/s 5.37M/s 1MiB 4.3M/s 4.36M/s 4.37M/s 3.26M/s 4.36M/s 2.24M/s 3.65M/s 3.49M/s 3.67M/s 3.69M/s 512KiB 3.32M/s 3.36M/s 3.36M/s 3.19M/s 3.34M/s 3.36M/s 3.35M/s 3.35M/s 3.36M/s 3.34M/s 256KiB 3.94M/s 3.95M/s 3.91M/s 3.86M/s 3.93M/s 3.94M/s 3.8M/s 3.93M/s 3.94M/s 3.92M/s 128KiB 4.35M/s 4.35M/s 4.34M/s 4.19M/s 4.34M/s 4.35M/s 4.35M/s 4.23M/s 4.35M/s 4.35M/s 64KiB 4.47M/s 4.58M/s 4.58M/s 4.46M/s 4.56M/s 4.57M/s 4.57M/s 4.48M/s 4.56M/s 4.55M/s 32KiB 3.67M/s 3.77M/s 3.73M/s 3.7M/s 3.76M/s 3.72M/s 3.76M/s 3.72M/s 3.74M/s 3.72M/s 16KiB 2.63M/s 2.64M/s 2.65M/s 2.62M/s 2.56M/s 2.61M/s 2.62M/s 2.62M/s 2.6M/s 2.61M/s 8KiB 1.45M/s 1.47M/s 1.48M/s 1.46M/s 1.45M/s 1.46M/s 1.46M/s 1.44M/s 1.47M/s 1.47M/s 4KiB 647K/s 645K/s 643K/s 644K/s 642K/s 642K/s 638K/s 637K/s 638K/s 637K/s

Yes, there are two known problems that I need to fix: 1. flashbench uses O_DIRECT for talking to the device, which means that all accesses must be on multiples of full sectors based on the underlying device sector size. It should detect this 2. command line arguments currently need to be natural numbers. There is no parser for interpreting arguments like 1K or 4M as kilobytes and megabytes. It should work when you do ./flashbench -a -b 1024 /dev/sdb Arnd

I promise I'll get to it and update the README. I should actually remove --scatter-order, it's too difficult to understand this. It specifies the log2 of the number of blocks in terms of --blocksize to be tested at the start of the medium. The output file can be interpreted by gnuplot -p -e 'plot "output.file"' or by importing it into a spreadsheet program like oocalc and using the XY chart function on two columns. For --findfat, the output shows how each of the first N erase blocks on the drive reacts to certain access patterns within the erase block. Most drives do something different for a few blocks in the beginning to optimize storing the FAT on them. Each column is one erase block here. If they are all the same, the card does not have an optimzied FAT area. Arnd

No, it's not about threads, but about how the data is laid out. ext4 will have to write data, metadata and journal data for many accesses, but these three are normally in different locations on the driver, so you need at least three open segments for the first process that is writing data. If you have other processes that also write to the drive, or one process writing to multiple files, you will need more. > open-au-nr means how many different segments you can use > to write to in the same time(so you don't need wait for one segment)? Yes. The apacer card evidently can write to three segments, but not to six. Can you also try 4 and 5 segments? The interesting number is the maximum. For the unigen card, it looks like it does not handle random access well, independent of the number of AUs. Best try again without --random. > I probably will recommend APACER over UNIGEN, does that make sense? Depends on the other measurements. Arnd
