Hi-
Sorry about the delay in responding.
I'm interested in filesystem performance. I'm not trying to
document IDE vs. SCSI vs. FC performance/price tradeoffs, benefits,
etc.
> Does the storage system/controller have a disk cache? What size?
Good questions, but I'm having trouble finding answers for them.
(hence the delay in responding)
The FC host controller is a QLogic 2200. It is attached to an
IBM FAStT controller/drive array -- one controller with 10
attached drives. I've been looking at the IBM FAStT OS console
interface, but I can't see much cache info there.
There is one item: cache/processor sizes: 88/40 MB

No, IOzone doesn't default to num_processes = num_cpus.
That's a command-line option that I didn't use, although I expect
to do some testing with that option also.
Thanks for your comments.
